Abstract:
The Hooker and Anthony/Diener’s Bakery Building, located at 815-1817 Dickinson Avenue was built in 1912 by Thomas Menan Hooker and P. T. Anthony, wholesale grocers, as their main office and storehouse. Thomas Menan Hooker (1875-1920) in business with William A. Teel, started the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company in Greenville in 1908. Over the years the building was home to the Hooker Wholesale Company; Railroad Express Office; NC Employment Security Commission; Peoples Bakery (Diener’s Bakery); Eastern Recording Studio; Copeland’s Cabinet Shop; and Cable and Craft Yarns. The building was bought and renovated in 2003 by Greg and Stacy Jarrell.
