Patterson Leech Building

Built in 1890, the Patterson Leech Building is one of the oldest surviving structures in West Branch’s historic district. Originally constructed as a millinery shop, it featured living quarters above for the owner’s family. In 1895, Dr. L.J. Leech purchased the building, using it as his office until 1937.

The building to the right was once a Quaker school for Native American children, later replaced by the Veteran’s Memorial Building.

Today, the Patterson Leech Building is home to Mimi & Mae, a unique vintage shop, continuing its legacy as part of West Branch’s historic downtown.
