On the night of July 29, 1880 a fire broke out in the dressmaker shop located to the right of the Goldwater Store. While the dressmaker shop did not survive the blaze, the Goldwater building, although heavily damaged, was able to be repaired and back in business.
In less than three years, the Goldwaters were prosperous enough to build their own store. The lot on the southeast corner of Cortez and Union streets was available, and Michael, with his son Morris, built their new Goldwater store. It bore a close resemblance to Howey Hall, including a second-floor meeting place for the Masons. The new location was opened with appropriate fanfare in January 1880. Just a few months after opening, the building suffered damage from a fire in a dressmaker's shop next door. Despite a significant loss, the Goldwaters repaired the damage and continued in business.
