NRHP Nomination Form"Located at the eastern end of the 2100 block of Mechanic, the Heidenheimer Building stands opposite the
Galveston News Building and the Galveston Cotton Exchange Building. The two-story stuccoed-brick building has an eight-bay northern façade addressing Mechanic and a 13-bay eastern façade addressing 21st Street. A ground-story arcade with ogee arches runs along both street-front elevations. On the 21st Street side, a decagonal parapet caps the central three bays. The roof is flat. Heidenheimer hired Nathaniel Tobey to complete the design. Two years later, he hired John Moser to design a since-demolished three-story annex on the south side of the building. In 1984, George and Cynthia Mitchell hired Ford, Powell and Carson to complete a rehabilitation project."
