Brock's Department Store

This site was deeded by Col Thomas Baker to Agnes Stine in 1871. Dave Hirshfeld ran the Pioneer Store here in 1899. Succeeded by Otto Belau in the same year. In 1904 the business was sold to Hochheimer and Co. After the 1919 fire the structure was rebuilt in 1920. In 1924 the property became Brock's Department Store, the present building was modernized following the earthquakes of 1952.

Marker is at the intersection of 1918 Chester Avenue and 20th Street, on the left when traveling west on 1918 Chester Avenue.
