About This Property

In 1876, the first furniture store in Washington County was founded on this site, and the original family still operates today as Hermann Furniture Store. Its original owner, Gottlieb Hermann, was a native German who rebuilt and remodeled continuously to keep the property updated. The building’s current cast stone face and details are of the classical Beaux Arts period of the 1920s.
