Henkle & Joyce
Hardware Building
1887

The Henkle & Joyce Hardware Building, built circa 1887, is one of the Haymarket's key early structures. With it's smaller scale and rich ornamentation, it is characteristic of the district's 19th century buildings.

Jones, Douglas & Co. manufactured crackers and biscuits here from 1887 to 1905. In the later years they supplied National Biscuit Company, later known as Nabisco.

The bakery was converted into a hardware warehouse in 1905 when it was leased by Lincoln Hardware Company. Robert M. Joyce and Elmer E. Henkle purchased the property in 1910. The structure is also unique for its 80 years of continuous use as a hardware warehouse.
