Haynie Block (Haynie Hotel and Home National Bank Building)

-A A +A
1882, A. O. Watson. 101 W. Main St.

Although the elaborate Italianate brick details have been inappropriately painted over in several colors and the ground floor windows and doors altered, the two-story building still dominates the north side of the square with a strong skyline of gables and blunt pinnacles. Several additions on the Ford Street side extend the building to the north. The building housed Llano’s first telephone switchboard in the 1880s and the county hospital on the second floor in the 1940s.

On the same block at 113 W. Main the LanTex Theater, a 365-seat movie house, also hosted live productions. It was rebuilt with a Moderne facade and angled marquee in 1940 after a fire burned the 1927 building.
