This 1984 photograph, taken near the intersection of East Nash and Pender Streets, shows the 500 block of East Nash Street before it was decimated by building demolition. I have identified the locations of some of the historic businesses on the block. Of the buildings pinpointed, only Jackson Chapel and the S.P. Artis and William’s Barbershop buildings remain standing.
