Description |
Transparency, Slide, 2" x 2", color, three two-story structures, two facing one street and the other facing another street, corner view. Lamp post on corner, car parked on street. Once located at the southwest corner of Oak and Railroad Avenues, the Genck Apartments (middle building) was razed in 1979. Built in the late 1870s, the structure was first home to Waterman's General Store and greatly altered in 1953 into a multi-family residence by Worthington Dawkins Genck. He first used the building's main floor to manufacturer toys in the 1940s. The building to the right was once a storehouse for Waterman's General Store. It was burned down by the Bartlett Volunteer Fire Department when it was no longer needed. The building on the left, located on Oak Avenue, is an apartment building and as of January 2018 is still standing. |
