While remodeling during July 2001, workers uncovered steel beams
from 1912 while trying to remodel and old building in Washington at
the corner of Market and Third streets. The cornerstone at the
southeast corner of the building states it was built in 1912, by
Hassell Supply Company with M&M Jones, architect as designer. Henry
Rumley, the previous owner of the building, and known for his many
years of service at Rumley Auto Supply, stated Hassell Supply
Company was a general farm supply business. Current owner, Whit
Blackstone, is renovating the building to make three offices out of
the ground floor. |
