Coleman, Texas Legal Description: |
As this northeast quarter of Block 8 of the Original
Townsite of Coleman was originally one business and what is now 108
East Pecan Street, 110 East Pecan Street, 112
East Pecan Street and 114 East Pecan
Street were built as one building, it is difficult, at times, to separate
the buildling into separate addresses, as it is now, in 2005. What
is now 110 East Pecan Street is legally known as the east half of lot 12
of Block 8 of the Original Townsite of Coleman. For an overview of
this building see 108 - 114 East Pecan
Street.
For a short time, about 1906, the Farmers State Bank was located at 110 East Pecan Street. Between 1911 and 1916, the second story was added by Dr. O. B. Manes, to the four brick buildings of what is now 108, 110, 112 and 114 East Pecan Street. There were inside doors connecting 108 and 110, and 112 and 114, but no indication that 110 and 112 were connected. 108 and 110 were still connected by an inside door and together were known as the O. B. Manes Hardware Store. The first floor of 110 East Pecan Street was occupied by the “Variety Store,” and 108 East Pecan Street by “Furniture and Hardware.” There was a 270 gallon gasoline tank located underground in front of 108 East Pecan Street. In 1929, 110 East Pecan was vacant, the Central City Hotel was located on the second story, their address being 110 ½ East Pecan Street, which was the second story over 110 East Pecan, but it appears the Hotel occupied the second story of the quarter-block. By 1930, the entire second floor over the four business was occupied by the Central City Hotel. By 1948, the Central City Hotel had apparently closed over the four buildings. There is no indication what occupied 110 East Pecan Street, but the second story over the four building indicates “Rooms,” so rooms were probably still being rented on the second story of these four buildings. In the past twenty years, David Thompson operated
a resale store at this location, with Dewey Mitchell most recently occupying
it, being used for storage of junk. 2005 tax rolls show it still
being owned by the Mitchell Family Trust.
