Description

Heckman Building: This building is located at 508 Main Street. The building has a long history, starting as a one-story wooden structure (UA58 � 7516 second from left) before 1888. Indiana Bell Telephone Exchange and office was located on the second floor in the late 1890s. It would eventually be moved next door to the second floor of the Centennial Saloon Building by 1907. The First National Bank was located in the building, opening at some point between 1899 and 1907. The bank was at this location when the Monitor Corner fire occurred in August of 1908 but had disappeared by the 1920s (UA58 � 7512 far left). The Lemon Tree ice cream parlor was located in the building, in the 1970s. This building, along with the other historic buildings on Main, was renovated in the mid-1970s in the efforts to preserve the heritage of New Harmony. This photo shows The Lemon Tree sign being taken down from the front of the building in order for renovation work to continue.
