When I went to take a photo today, I found that the plate glass window was boarded up. I'll take another when it's replaced. I wanted to have this blog entry follow the Pachek house.
This building at 809 Main Street, Kerrville, between Earl Garrett and Washington Streets, was constructed for Gertrude Aubey, wife of Horace Aubey, in 1939. She had previously been married to, and widowed by, Cleve Wheelus, whose studio was next door.
The contractor was P. M. Wright.
Marguerite Pachek had been the pharmacist at Pampell's. In 1939 she and her husband, Joe, opened Pachek's Plaza Drug in this building. The Kerrville Seafood Market, owned by Horace Aubey, was also in the building. Plaza Drug was here about 10 years, then moved around the corner to Earl Garrett Street across from the current location of the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center. Today the building houses professional offices.
