1. The New York Store Marker
Sixto E. Garcia opened the New York Store in 1909 at Pine and Tilley streets, moving to this location in 1924. The general store later offered a variety of goods and a tailoring and cleaning wing. Garcia's daughter Herlinda married store clerk Blas M. Salinas in 1938. They and their children lived upstairs while continuing the family business after S.E. Garcia's death in 1944. The New York Store has remained in the same family for more than a century. The two-story commercial building features common bond brick with a dentil course and a stepped parapet above storefront windows and a projecting awning.
Erected 2010 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 16538.)
