The Story

The Andrews Building was a large commercial building, located in the 200 block of E. Mulberry Street, that housed numerous Black professional offices and businesses over its life before being destroyed by fire in the race riot of 1930. Other small businesses also lined the blocks going east from Walnut Street.  Those in and around the Andrews Building included:
