The Massie Variety Store is a historic commercial building located at 110 South Main Street in New Canton, Illinois.
John Webb built the two-story brick Italianate building between 1848 and 1850 as a mercantile store.
An opera house operated on the upper story from 1865 until the 1900s, and Massie served as an agent for local farmers who traded their products along the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.
Massie's son Harry began renting the storefront in 1918; in the following decades, it served as a drug store, ice cream parlor, grocery store, and post office before closing for good in 1948.
