Hartsook Building - A black and white photograph of the Hartsook Building, situated at the intersection of Campbell Avenue S. and First Street SE on the southeast corner of Market Square, with parade participants in the foreground. The following narrative is taken from the Roanoke City website, http://www.roanokeva.gov/: "Thomas Everhart Benton Hartsook was a prominent real estate dealer of German and English descent who moved to Roanoke in 1891 and opened an office on Jefferson Street. By 1896, he had built the two-story brick Hartsook Building that overlooks Market Square at the southeast corner of Market Street and Campbell Avenue. The building served as his office and residence with his wife and daughter. The History of Roanoke County noted that Mr. Hartsook 'purchased a farm of 526 acres, known as the Mill Mountain farm, within 30 minutes drive of the business center of the city, a portion of which he intends to plant to fruit.' Known as the Hartsook Estate, it covered nearly half of the community including some of the eastern slope of Mill Mountain. It is currently a housing development known as Mill Mountain Estates.
