Brock's Department Store

This site was deeded by Colonel Thomas Baker to Agnes Stine in 1871. Dave Hirshfeld ran the Pioneer Store here in 1899, and Otto Belau succeeded him in the same year. In 1904 the business was sold to Hochheimer and Co. After the 1919 fire, the structure was rebuilt in 1920. In 1924 the property became Brock's Department Store, and the present building was modernized following the earthquakes of 1952.
