Abstract
In 1929, W.B. Tate began construction of the Tate Building in Berea, Kentucky, on a lot he had purchased in 1924 from S.E. Welch. The construction of this brick building followed the destruction of the wooden frame buildings on the lot, during the "Welch block" fire shortly after its purchase in 1924. Initially, the Tate Building served as a hotel, and in the 1950s the bottom floor was converted to store fronts. Various businesses have operated in the space during the past six decades.
