OK,... I need some help.. LOL

Basically, I am trying to establish the AGE of some Art Prints that were in frames..

On the board inside the backing of the frames, it says "Dunnavant's, 50th Anniversary."

I KNOW that Dunnavant's was eventually moved to the Mall (where the Medical Mall is now), but that was in the 1960's...

I have SEARCHED on Google, and can FIND the Dunnavant's when it was downtown on the Square, but no indication of what YEAR that the Department Store first opened???

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks for your help!

Dusty

The Dunnavant's Building was built in 1905 according to the Historic Huntsville Foundation:

Historic Huntsville Foundation: Madison County’s Historic Districts and Properties (http://www.historichuntsville.org/districts.htm - broken link)

However, this old advertisement says "... since 1914", so perhaps the building was something other than Dunnavant's when it opened:
