| Additional Information: | Segmental arched two over two windows mixed with flat arched windows; perma-stone siding applied to northeast corner entrance, red barrel lite coping; addition at the rear. Alteration of the structure has reduced the architectural significance of this structure. Hackner Alter Factory, begun in 1880, moved here from 1235 Ferry Street in 1910. The Hackner Company was under the direction of Hackner's children until 1963. The Hackner Co. Building is significant as the historic structure associated with the nationally known Hackner altar factory. 2017 UPDATE - THE BUILDING IS NOW COVERED IN A STUCCO-LIKE MATERIAL, LOSS OF INTEGRITY |
