This building at 141 John Street once housed Jimmy Mack's Barber Shop. James Mack became the owner on October 18, 1961, and retired in November 2011. Before opening his own store, Mr. Mack worked for his uncle, whose barbershop was located on Witherspoon Street.
Before Mr. Mack moved into this building, it was a bar, restaurant and an A&P supermarket; it was renovated for living quarters for two families and then a beauty parlor.
