Friedman Building

This hollow tile and stucco building at 812 and 814 Main Street was erected in 1939 by Mary  Friedman.  The first tenant, at 814, was Durrin's Confectionery, operated by Charles Durrin.  The shop featured a soda fountain and "private booths". The architect was A. W. Malin, the general contractor W.W. Miller & Son.
There had been a two-story frame store building at 812 Main St. which was the home of Samuel and Mary Friedman. It appears that they lived upstairs and rented out the first floor for commercial use.   The last retail occupants in the old building were Van's Sign Shop and one of the two locations of City Produce Market. In 1938 that building was sold to Fred Evertson, who moved it from the site. The November 10, 1938, Kerrville Mountain Sun said "The old frame house was declared to have been a landmark for more than four decades."
The "landmark building" that was removed was the original location of Florence Butt's grocery store. I haven't found mention of where the house was moved to.  Do any of my loyal readers know?
