1893-2015 | 111 East St.
East Street has consistently remained at the center of it all, allowing our space to witness all the changes and goings-on from nearly the beginning of the town itself. Constructed in 1893 with two identical buildings on each side, 111 East Street has survived the 1902 fire, seen the first annual Old Tyme Days parade, and looked straight across the street at Henrietta the Hippo since she landed there as the city’s mascot in 1982. However, the long-time infrastructure and namesake to One ElevenEast remains a mystery.
While the other four locations on East Street housed numerous general stores, grocery stores, consignment shops, and bakeries (and have records to prove it), 111 seems to have been largely unoccupied and undocumented over the years + there is little that we know about the previous tenants.
Originally a shared space with 109 East Street, 111 served as part of the Harrison Brothers General Store, J.M. Barkley General Store, and Arthur Hyltin Groceries (according to the 1921 Sanborn map). In the 1950’s, the East Street Dining and Social Club occupied our space, with the Hutto Players, a local theatrical group, meeting there regularly. In more recent years, other than State House Press + Thomas Munnerlyn Books, the space had remained vacant.
Because of the period of vacancy, the National Register of Historic Places recorded 111 East Street as being in the worst condition of the 5 buildings and the closest to falling into disrepair...
