The Pritchard Building

As one of the only commercial district buildings to survive the 1895 fire, undoubtedly due to its masonry construction, the Pritchard Building was extensively remodeled in 1926. The original brick exterior was stuccoed and the curvilinear parapet was added to give the building its Spanish Revival style (as can still be seen in the adjoining building). Capt. James Pritchard operated this store as James Pritchard & Son Hardware.
