State Historical Society calls it a post office on the Ben Gaines farm. Somehow, that was turned into a statement in an article that Gaines was town built on land owned by Gaines (sounds like WP:OR to me). Found a result in an old county history about the "Gaines ranch", a newer county history refers to it as "the Gaines store". Topos never show more than two buildings at the site. Looks like another GNIS error where the page creator managed to original research claims of a "populated place" and statements it was a post office into calling it a town.
