HALL-WYNNE (WEST MAIN)
The Hall-Wynne funeral home business was established in 1903 by JS Hall - upon joining with GV Wynne in 1909, they built original building on Morris Street, which connected with their stables on East Chapel Hill St..
In 1926, they moved from the center of downtown to the 1100 block of West Main Street, building a sizable brick Colonial Revival building. In 1946, they built a detached chapel just to the east of the structure.
Hall-Wynne, late 1970s.
The funeral home remains in operation today.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but it clear as day that this place, along with Howerton-Bryan is one of the main reasons W. Main feels so "dead" on this block...
Wish the cool retro clock was still there. I know every car, cellphone and pda device comes with a clock on it, but when driving, I've always liked knowing looking up and finding out what the time & temperature was. Glad the Peak Swirles kept theirs leftover from Northwestern Insurances (?), but the analog clocks were cooler looking, particularly if they turned round and round....
