Historic name: Elkins Building, Heard Hatchery (built 1907)

About This Property

Built in 1907 by W. Y. Elkins, the north side of the building housed Elkins store which sold clothing and house hold items. The building was enlarged to the south before 1922. In the  1930’s, the Snack Bar Dining Room  shared this building with Louis’ Saddle  Shop, but by 1948 it was the home of the  Uvalde Hatchery, where Curtis Heard sold  chickens and chicken feed after moving  from his location near the train tracks in  North Uvalde. Other businesses included a café and a bakery. Heard built an apartment for his family above the south side addition.
