In 1956, a fire broke out in the dry cleaning shop of Pool The Tailor,
gutting both floors of much of the building.
Following the fire, the building was leveled, and the drive through
bank of the First Coleman National Bank was later built on this
quarter block.
Here is a picture taken after the fire from the top of the Coleman County
State Bank Building. |
