Sayr's Building
Inscription
First known as the Hyde Block, this building was constructed by banker Joseph Hyde and his wife, Mary, in 1888. It housed the First National Bank until the silver crash of 1893. In 1904, Frank Sayrs purchased the building and it has since held a number of businesses including a tailor’s shop, drug stores, and a recreation center.
The fine MT NATIONAL REGISTER SIGN TEXT 1990 TO APRIL 2019 design of this two-story commercial structure features a chamfered, or beveled, corner with a modillioned metal cornice and pediment.
