C05-27-04, 214 East Main Street, Stults Building, TAC-35, 1895-1905 (alterations 1911; 2004)

Only three bays wide, this two-story stone facade building is built of common bond brick on t e east side. A decorative tin parapet tops the front facade while segmental arched windows appear o the second floor. The storefront has been altered. Stone supports accent the building. Stone window sills in the upper stone facade consist of regular course work, random coursed and uncoursed stone work.

The building originally housed J. “Jack” S. Stults Dry Goods. Pruitt, Wilkerson and Company General Store was in the building in 1909. Tom Taylor ran a business that later moved to TAC-11 d became Taylor, Pruitt and Jarvis. Norman Hobson moved into the building circa 1910 and ran a grocery store here which was burned in the March 1911 fire. Hobson sold the grocery store by 1912. Ii 1954, it became the King’s Department Store, then between the 1960s and 1980s it was Winn’s Store for Men.

Although the storefront has been altered, the unique stone facade and its varied use of stone creates one of the most visually interesting buildings on Main Street.
