Today's "Throwback Thursday Collection" takes us to the 2400 block of North Main Street on the west side.
Chet Bourell was a flooring installer, mainly in the 1930s. In 1945, he started his first retail store endeavor. Chet's Custom Floor Covering Co. at 1309 N. Main quickly expanded to include 1311 N. Main.
Business went so well, that he built a new building at 2411 N. Main and, on May 1, 1949, he opened Bourell's Floors at this location. The first photo shows a night view at opening.
He ran that business until his death in 1957, when his son, Marion, acquired it. In 1996, his son, Mike, and wife, Kathy, bought the business and ran it until its closing in 2010.
About 2012, dentist Dr. John Dahm bought the building and completely remodeled it. The second photo shows the new dentistry look.
In 2018, dentist Dr. Jason Hatch bought the business from Dr. Dahm at his retirement. The third photo shows the business today at 2411 N. Main, Hutchinson Main Street Dental, with the property owned by Hatch Holdings L.L.C.
