History and information
History
The Lemon Tree Marketplace is located near the sandy shores of the Saginaw Bay in the heart of the city of Caseville, Michigan. In 2005, two Arizona sisters with heartfelt ties to the area purchased the old Hubbard Bank Building on downtown Main Street .
Shortly there after, Amy & TJ created the first specialty coffee shop in the Thumb of Michigan and named it Lemon Tree Marketplace. While citrus trees are plentiful in Arizona, they are quite sparse in Michigan. The Lemon Tree name is a representation of how the two brought a little bit of the west to Michigan. Not only does the shop sell coffee and smoothie drinks, but also carries a line of clothing, unique gifts, home decor, books, Michigan foods, and pastries, as well as grab & go deli sandwiches. The upstairs floor offers even more shopping full of collectibles, and painted furniture, home decor and more!.
Built in 1904 as the Hubbard State Bank, with the upstairs being the Masonic Temple, the building is one of the oldest still standing on Main Street.
It served the community as a bank from its beginning in 1904 until the late 1970's. Although it no longer functions as a bank, the original vault - surrounded by walls 2 feet thick - is still intact. The best feature is the vault door.
