711 Water Street

This narrow building was erected about 1925.  From 1926 to 1932 it was home to Bill's Sandwich Shop, run by Bill Saludis, who later owned the Manhattan Cafe next door.  In the 1930s a series of small businesses were housed here.
From March 1940 until early 1950, this was George P. Bevill real estate.  Bevill moved his office to Main Street just a few weeks before he died in a car accident east of Comfort May 25, 1950.
The next occupant was the ladies' fashion shop Mode o'day, which was in this location from 1950 to sometime after 1982. It was the business with the longest occupancy.
Additional retail businesses followed and continue today.
