The Hilzinger Block is a commercial building located at 106-110 South Main Street in Royal Oak, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
History
The Hilzinger Block building was completed in 1925 as the Hilzinger Hardware Store.[2] for Albert Hilzinger.[3] Hilzinger's sons, Raymond and Franklin, took over the business in the 1950s, and ran it as the Hilzinger Brothers Hardware Store until 2002,[3] after which the building was vacant for a time.[4] The building was renovated numerous times, including a 1963 renovation that covered the external facade with sheet metal.[4] The building was purchased in 2003 by 2mission,[5] who rehabilitated the building and restored the original brick facade,[2] and brought in five tenants to the building.[5]
Description
The Hilzinger Block is a 12000 square feet, two story brick building.[2] The current facade is similar to the original, and includes an unusual multi-light transom over the first-floor storefronts that was re-ceated from old photographs.[4]
