Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

First Federal in Surety building

Posted Monday, November 18, 2013, at 12:00 AM

This picture of First Federal Savings & Loan Association, 318 Broadway, was taken in the early 1960s before the business moved across the street to a new building on the site of the Bremermann house, between the federal building and the Southeast Missourian.

The Surety building was formerly Cherry Florist.

The Hirsch Tower would be built to the east of the Surety building.

The Spanish Colonial Revival style of Cherry Florist was beautiful and now not at all the same. So what building was in between the Surety Building and the New Orleans restaurant that was razed for the Hirsch Tower?
