On slide mount: Chatham, 1102 N. College Yes The Walbrook Apartment Building1102-1106 N. College Avenue(also 674-676 E. 11th Street)1916This combined commercial/residential building was built in 1916 by the Walker-Brooks Realty Company on the site of a late 19th-century frame commercial building. The first floor contained a drugstore in the corner space at 1102 N. College, a small tailoring shop at 1106, a grocery at 647 E. 11th Street, and a shoe repair shop at 676. The second floor contained six apartments.Beginning in 1917, the drugstore was operated successively by Ferdinand L. Murr, Benjamin C. Harbison, and Thomas O. Hall. The first tailor, Benjamin Benjamin, opened his shop in 1918; Goodman Segal expanded the operations of the tailoring shop and was a building tenant from 1924 to 1939. The 11th Street grocery was opened in 1920 by John V. LaShorne, continued by Harold J. Lloyd who lived in an upstairs apartment, and sold to David P. Childs in 1924. As with many of the citywide Childs grocery stores, it became a Kroger store in 1925.This two-story building follows a squared U-plan with an open court at its rear for greater illumination of the apartments. Built of red, wire-cut brick, it has spare stone accenting that once included a stone parapet cap, recently replaced by sheet metal. All storefronts have been blocked in.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 commercial |
