(HISTORIAN'S NOTE:  According to this article, Mead had just moved his business probably to 115 West Street, with an entrance to his funeral home on North Concho Street, which is shown as a furniture repair store in 1930.  However, he is said to have built the large brick building at 110 - 112 East College Avenue, and in 1929, he had a furniture store at 110 - 112 East College Avenue.  Did he build the building before 1929 and move out before 1936?)
