Headâs Store in St. Albans to reopen on St. Patrickâs Day Weekend Porch Parties and SipINN Sundays are not far behind. Courtesy Head's Store Headâs Store, which for many years was a railroad stop on the Rock Island railway system, will be opening this year with a few more bells and whistles than normal. Photography by Kevin A. Roberts Built in 1892, the building first served as the communityâs general store and then became a Saturday night dance hall. Operating on and off for more than a century, Headâs Store now serves as the inviting gateway to the Inns of St. Albans development, anchored by the propertyâs three inns:Â Studio Inn, Old Barn Inn, and Farm House.
