Contractor William Gray put stone pavement in place by November, and the primary contractors began installing counters and shelves by the end of November. The inside work was done enough by the first week of December for the Order of Odd Fellows to hold a festival in what was now would be called "Peek's Hall" going forward. Glass and windows were installed for the front of the store by mid-December, and by 20 December, "Grafton Peek is at home in his new building, and a model structure it is for beauty and convenience."

In the spring of 1889, Grafton Peek decided to build a new brick building "with all modern improvements".

Multiple teams of horses drawing wagons full of brick were coming and going from Franklin by the middle of August. Work was briefly slowed because stones, doors, and windows were not delivered timely in late August, but work did progress fairly quickly after that. The brickwork was completed by October 2nd and the building was said to "have an appearance of architectural beauty."
