1106 BROAD
1106 Broad, 06.27.09
1106 Broad is a more modern facade built upon at earlier structure, the Johnson-Prevost Dry Cleaning Plant, which was located here by the late 1920s. The facade appears to have been modified by the 1940s, briefly housing a Colonial Store grocery and C &F Dry Cleaners before Colonial Stores made successive moves northward in this block. By 1952, it housed C&F Dry Cleaners alone, which had been replaced by a branch of Durham's New Method Laundry by the 1960s.
By 1965, it housed Troy's Hi-Fi Stereo, later called Troy's Stereo Center. Between 1970 and 1975, this became Soundhaus. 1106 1/2 was established, which housed House of 1000 Picture Frames.
It currently houses the House of Frames / Craven Allen Gallery.

1106 Broad also was Turner's TV repair in the 60's. It became Troy's Stereo, after that it was Sound Haus Audio.
1106 Broad is now one of the top upscale hair salons in Durham, called Hot Headz, and has brought business to all the other stores in the area.
