Historical Marker
     Born in England and reared in Ohio, E. A. Hannaford (1841-1915) served in the Union Army. He came to Granbury from Ohio in 1871, establishing his drugstore in a tent. He and merchant J. D. Baker had a two-part commercial building erected in the Italianate style in 1886. Among the first stone buildings in Granbury, it was commonly known as the Arch Block. The cornice on this side advertised Hannaford's Drug and Book Store. Doc Hannaford became a prominent civic leader and businessman. After his death his nephew operated the drugstore. Early second-floor tenants included the Granbury Graphics newspaper, doctors' offices and a beauty parlor. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1997
