Today Heers Store on the Square Heers Department Store moved into this building on the Square in 1915 and enjoyed considerable patronage until the 1990s when it was closed. Both the layout of the square and the face of the building changed in the interim. The vehicles have changed in this comparison of photos taken of Walnut St. east of South Ave. Some of the buildings are still recognizable particularly the Masonic Lodge and neighboring Landers Theatre. St. Louis Street east of the Square St. Louis Street running east from the square looks much different today than it did at the turn of the century.
Buildings look more modern, either having been built new or remodeled.
This view has also changed on and off in between times. Not too long ago, in connection with the closing of the square, there was no traffic. It was replaced in recent years by the two story modern structure which was, for awhile, the home of the Chamber of Commerce and also for Guaranty Federal Savings and Loan. It now is used for other office purposes including 417 Magazine.
