Our History

Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Glasgow, this building has quietly stood the test of time, watching the rhythm of a river town unfold just outside its windows.

Part of the Glasgow Commercial Historic District, this space belongs to a collection of buildings that shaped the central business district between the late 1800s and early 1900s, each one holding a piece of Glasgow’s story.

Before its life as a commercial space, the building was once a single family residence. In 1921, it became home to Tri-County Trust Bank, serving the community from this very location until 1963, when the bank moved to its current site.

In the years that followed, the space continued to evolve while remaining an important part of downtown life. For a time, it returned to its residential roots, functioning as a two bedroom apartment. It later welcomed visitors again as a storefront, once home to Riverport Market, where Missouri artisans shared their work through pottery, jewelry, and paintings. The owners poured their heart into restoring and reimagining the first floor and the front of the building, and so much of what you see today is because of their care and vision.

Today, the first floor is home to Market Street Floral, continuing the building’s tradition of welcoming people in and sending beauty back out into the world. I have owned Market Street Floral for over a decade and have called this space home since 2018, caring for it in much the same way as those before me.

From its tall ceilings to its original details, there is a sense of history here you can feel the moment you walk in.

As we began restoring and reimagining the upstairs into The Flower Loft, we were deeply aware that we were not starting something new, but continuing something meaningful.

The care and work of those who came before us made this possible, and we are honored to carry that forward.

With The Flower Loft, we are creating a place that feels just as special, where guests can slow down, feel at home, and become part of the story themselves.
