Historic Architecture Downtown Richmond:
A Walking Tour
ACE Hardware
S.S. Kresge Store
801 East Main Street
Art Deco Style (circa
1935)
This colorful glazed-brick building was constructed for the S.S.
Kresge Company. Art Deco style used stepped, flat decorative elements of
colored tiles and trim, creating strong surface designs. The high gloss
tiles convey a feeling of artful durability. This building replaced the
1887 Richardsonian Romanesque style Kelly-Hutchinson Building. Among its
tenants were the Union National Bank and John A. Hasecoster, the
architect of the building.
