Heckler Building

This building at 225 Earl Garrett Street is the Heckler Building, renovated by Dell Sheftall several years ago.

The photo below shows what it looked like before its renovation.  It was purpose-built in 1948 for Heckler men's wear. When the building opened it was described as a concrete and tile building in an "attractive buff color, with a modernistic louvered design on the front of the second story."

When the building went up the newspaper reported on the crowds that watched the building go up brick by brick--a major source of entertainment in a small town.
