Building description
Built in 1896 by developer Thomas Everhart Benton Hartsook, the Hartsook Building stands at the heart of Roanoke’s historic Market Square - one of the city’s original commercial anchors dating to 1884.
Over more than a century, the building has served as office, residence, pharmacy, retail shop, and restaurant. Adapting with each era while remaining a fixture of downtown life.
