The Buster Meat Market, located at about 250 Main Ave. in Challis in Custer County, Idaho, USA, was a historic building constructed in c.1897. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It was a one-story stone building with a galvanized iron front manufactured by the Mesker Bros. of St. Louis, Missouri. It was built for George McGowan, a merchant, and was rented to William Buster until Buster purchased the building. The building was considered the finest building in Challis for a number of years.[2]
The building no longer exists.[note 1]
Another NRHP-listed stone building, the Challis Cold Storage, located at about 300 Main Ave., collapsed in the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake.
