Caylor Block Building

Location: 925-939 Conner Street

Date Built: 1884

History of the Building:

The three-unit H. M. Caylor Block was constructed in 1884.  Although it has lost its ground floor storefronts, the second story displays fine brick detailing, a corbel table, and noteworthy letter "C's" in the stonework, typical of Victorian Gothic style.

H.M. Caylor, a businessman and the owner of the saw and planing mills, constructed this building for commercial purposes.  The first business in the building sold dry goods, furniture, and groceries.  Early 20th-century businesses included Williams 5 & 10 Store, McMahon's Market, and a billiards hall.
