Hornbeak Hotel

In 1873, the Hornbeak House burned on this corner. Afterwards, the lot held a small frame building housing a barber shop, Dodd's Beauty Shop, a shoe shop, and a harness shop. J.A. Bates Law Office stood behind that building facing Huddleston Street. Ed Russell bought the lot in 1932 and built the present brick building, and Western Auto located here in 1940. Smith's Shop for Men opened here in the 1950s. Joe Harper bought the building in 1957 and opened Otasco Home and Auto, and Rene's Beauty Shop occupied part of the building. Later occupants included Harper Furniture, Griggs and Stewart Appliances, Yesterday on the Square, and Beeyoutiful. City Barber Shop and the Hickman County Chronicle occupied the basement with entrances on the north side. The building was remodeled as an art studio in 2022, and office space was added on the second floor.
