The Tucker Building

C05-11-08, 121 East Main Street, Bass & Bryant Drugstore, TAC-17, 1886-1895 (alterations 1980 front facade)

This building continues the facade design of TAC-14/15/16. Italianate in style, the storefront has been altered so that only the stone pilasters and lintels are visible.

Samuel R. Bass bought the property on which store is now located on September 28, 1885 with the privilege of building onto an adjoining building owned by Ed Coakley (TAC-19). The 1895 Fire Insurance Sanborn maps show drugs, books, stationery and paint located in this building through 1915. Then between 1923 and 1924 it was known as the Hubbard building, then Hubbard & Pierce Grocery. In 1975, a poolroom occupied the building. Later it was occupied by a barbershop, a sewing/alterations shop, and now Tucker's Diamonds and Gold.

This building continues to be one of the most attractive and least altered series of storefronts on Campbellsville's Main Street.

In the photo: The left door is address 121 and is occupied by Tucker's Diamond and Gold. The right door is address 123 and is occupied by Maxines Shoes.
