Okay-- 355 So.Grand in 1939 was the Amacker Hotel- later to be apts--also shows address of 607 W. 4th St--Hershey did build this---Little shot house at corner of S.Hope and 4th (401 S.Hope) was the G. Williams home originally-The WPA block drawing gives mere hints of it's front--and aerial images hardly pick it up ever...
