Later another larger store on the west side of the building was added and that was known as Anton's Hay & Grain. Another adobe building was built: the Hagely Hotel & Boarding House which included their home. It had a covered walkway in between the two buildings. The fl ood of 1919 destroyed the Hagely Hotel & Boarding House and it was re- placed in 1920 with a wooden building that served many purposes. In 1956 a truck ran off the road destroying the big rammed-earth storeroom section of this complex. By 1907 the little town of Tyson's Well was continuing to grow and had a new name, Quartzsite.

In 1932 the road was improved and the Hagely house was moved back from the road (this wooden house sits to the left and back from the remaining adobe walls of the Hagely Store) and served as a home and court for Anton's son George, who served as Quartzsite Justice of the Peace for 32 years.
