Description

417-423 S 4th - George A Kennard Wholesale Grocery, Hundley-Smith Dry Goods, Western Chemical, .... Hundley-Smith Dry Goods Co. was begun as the wholesale dry goods house of McKinney, Hundley & Walker; in 1893 it was succeeded by Kemper, Hundley & McDonald. Harry M. Hundley became president in 1896 and the following year the firm was reorganized as Hundley-Smith Dry Goods Company. By 1900 the firm was known as the Hundley-Frazer Dry Goods Company and occupied as offices and display rooms the entire four-story and basement brick and stone structure at the corner of Fourth and Francis Streets. The factory was located on South Fourth Street In 1907, a new building was built at 417-423 S. Fourth which served as their factory. Contributing building for: NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES This structure was built in 1907 and used by the Hundley Dry Goods Company. The building permit was in the name of John Donovan. President of the St Joseph Light, Heat and Power Company, and the price listed for the building was $35,OOO. Although the original fenestration is sheathed by corrugation, original corbelling and window treatment the ground and fourth stories remain Warehouse/Light Manufacturing Facility. Classical Revival influence. Four story brick building. Flat roof with corbeled cornice and crenelated parapet on front (west) facade; tile coping. Merlons accent bays articulated by piers rising from second to fourth stories terminating in wide brick segmental arches with keystones and shared imposts. Sheathing covers second to fourth story fenestration, but rhythm of bays maintained. First story serves as a base to treatment above, and is demarcated by dentilated stringcourse. Tripartite windows (6/6, 9/9, 6/6) on first story capped by flat arches with raised brick keystones; recessed off-center (to south) entry, slightly altered. South elevation with similar detailing and concrete loading dock with metal canopy along east half. Western Chemical was once owned by Henry Garvey and was a thriving business The building is currently vacant and the inside is in horrible dispair. February 4, 2019 - The city of St. Joseph returned to court Monday to renew efforts toward collecting fees for a building demolition from a company affiliated with HPI Products and its owner, William Garvey. Attorneys appeared before Judge Kate Schaefer to request additional time, which she extended to Thursday, April 4. The city is seeking to recover nearly $417,000 in the matter.
