At the time I write this this 1973 commercial building opposite the Courthouse is not yet old enough for historic status, but I did the research, so I'm sharing it.
In November, 1972, the Woodmen of the World, Cypress Camp No. 56, sold the lot of land this building sits on to Joseph Reeh, who then erected this building. Reeh was the manager of H. & R. Block, which was the first business at 319 Earl Garrett Street; the law firm of Prohl & Leslie the first business at 317. Unlike 317 Earl Garrett, which has housed only legal and other professional offices,
319 Earl Garrett has housed a greater variety of businesses.
H&R Block was at 319 Earl Garrett until 1983, followed by Domino's Pizza, Mr. Gatti's Pizza Delivery, and then a short-lived title company. There has been a hair salon here since 1993, although it has changed names and owners, I think we can still consider it the longest lasting business in this building.
