The Hall Furniture Building enjoys an expansive view of the county courthouse, it's grounds and monuments to History. The building is situated in a key location in Sherman's historic downtown district. Other businesses known to have occupied portions of the building include a carriage warehouse 1882-1885, agricultural implements 1885-1888, the D.E. Andrews Saloon 1886-1902, the Mahan Commercial College 1892-1899, the Sherman Mineral Water Bottling Works 1892-1902 and the R.R. Dulin Funeral Parlor 1889-1904, but the most notable was it's continued use as a furniture store since 1889. R.R. Dulin, an undertaker started the furniture store in 1889. He sold the building to Rufus Gaines Hall and Son in 1892. Five generationss of Halls maintained the business for the next 100 years. In 1992 the Halls sold the building to Aldridge Appliance & T.V. In February 1997 Ivert and Jeanette Mayhugh purchased the property and opened A TOUCH OF CLASS ANTIQUE MALL and the 2500 square foot Historic Exhibit Room of Grayson County.

The Hall Furniture Building is recognized today for it's bold use of structural glass in the Art Deco facade that was developed in 1936 to keep the store's appearance modern. Although a number of buildings in Sherman also modernized during that period, very few were known to have used structural glass and most of those have since been altered to other materials and styles.

Structural glass was first produced around 1900 but did not become popular until the 1930's and 40's. It was very versatile and could be easily attached to most flat surfaces using asphalt mastic. It is durable and does not warp, craze, fade or stain easily but is vulnerable to impact which can cause breakage. By the 1950's styles were changing and other products, such as porcelain enamel, were replacing the use of structural glass. It is no longer made in the U.S. and very difficult to find. Jay C. Henry, in his book Architecture in Texas 1895-1945 says of this building: "The Hall Furniture Building in Sherman is another excellent surviving specimen of the commercial application of structural glass".

On September 14, 2002 the Hall Furniture Building was officially placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and is now a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. Official Marker Dedication took place May 15, 2004. We believe this designation is a credit to the City of Sherman, Grayson County and the State of Texas.
