Neoclassical Commercial (c.1880)
Ziegler Building. Three story brick building with pressed metal bracketed cornice with egg and dart and Greek key elements, decorative pilaster, raised parapet wall. Fenestration filled in with brick. Metal storefront.
Metler and Ziegler began business in 2880 as a pork and sausage factory. The name of the establishment changed to Metler, Ziegler & Fanz in 1888, when it became a meat market. Ignaz Fanz was operating the store solely in 1895, dealing in fish and dried meats, and in 1896 the building was vacant. After that time, it became the Farmer and Tradesman Restaurant, with a boarding house operated by Mrs. J. C. Irwin on the second story. In 1900, the Knoxville Abattoir (slaughterhouse) Company operated from the building. It was the East Tennessee Packing Company for a time, sold wholesale produce and by 1929 was a dry goods store, then the Lowe & Armstrong Hardware Store. It housed Woody's Market from 1964 to 1983, and from 1984 to 1999 was a part of Watson's Department Store.
