It also argues the buildings embody Commercial Style, Classical Revival and late Art Moderne design, with the Lampley Motors bowstring truss building and the service stations noted as notable examples.","narrative":"Commercial and utilities buildings in downtown Hendersonville, most dating from about 1925 to 1955, form this boundary increase to the Main Street Historic District. The group includes Pace's Market at 620 N. Main Street, built about 1925, and the 1949 Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company Building at 212 N. Church Street, a three-story brick building with limestone pilasters and a limestone cornice. Lampley Motors at 101 N. Church Street, about 1945, has a one-story bowstring steel truss structure with an arched roof, which allowed an open showroom without interior posts. Two service stations, at 600 N. Main Street and 106 S. Church Street, show late Art Moderne design with curving display windows. A produce packing house at 143 First Avenue East dates from about 1940. The district is significant for its commercial growth from the late 1930s through the mid-1950s, a period of renewed prosperity after the Depression and World War II.","period_of_significance":"1930-1956","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Commercial Style; Classical Revival; late Art Moderne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Lampley Motors is currently in use as a resale shop; the 106 S.
