| The building, when it was a Service Station, sometime in the early 1950s. I believe this building started out as the Cone Car Company's service department, and was built around 1926. |

| The building as it appears today, home of the Voelkel Engineering company. Interesting factoid about the building: it has been owned by two separate Kerrville city managers, first by G. S. Cone (who planted the cork trees by the old city hall), and later by Dellie Voelkel. |

I see the word, "Magnolia," on the right side of the building. Also, directly below the Magnolia sign is an old style mail box (mounted to a post). I haven't seen a mailbox like that one in many years.
ReplyDeleteMost interesting is the chimney that can be seen behind, and above the building. It would be exciting to see what type of building (home, or commercial) to which the chimney is connected.
Joe,
ReplyDeleteMany times I have tried to link to your facebook page (www.facebook.com/joe.herring) from this website, however every time that I try it, I get an error message stating that the page could not be found. Is there a problem with the link, or a problem with my computer skills (very possibly my problem)?
I'm wondering... this link might not work if you don't have a Facebook account.

DeleteBack in the 30's and 40's, this was Stehling's (sp) Garage. My father worked there as a young man. A year or so ago, I sent you a picture, Joe, of the crew in this garage from the 30's. The questioned chimney would be for the building next door which was later a funeral home.

Didn't George Calcott have his auto parts store here in the 50's and 60's?
