About This Property

 In August of 1919, Mr. and Mrs. H. Simon moved to Elgin from Hempstead, Texas to open a dry goods and clothing store in the old Smith Building (100 North Main). In 1922, Mr. Simon opened a second store two blocks south of the Elgin National Bank. He was assisted by his sons, Abe, Manny, and Meyer. In 1935 Mr. Joe Simon purchased the business from his father. Simon’s, one of the original department stores in Elgin, closed in 1998. 

30 N Main has recently undergone a complete rehabilitation and now features two retail/office spaces on Main and two residential units with alley access.
