This building begins to look like one of Timlin's fantasies. (2014)

Excerpt from the Heilbron Centenary Album with a page of road names:

Tuckerstraat - vernoem die eienaar van Tucker's Hotel, Harry Tucker, 'n oud-matroos wat baie goed met die vuis kon slaan.

Translation:
Tucker Street - named for the owner of Tucker's Hotel, Harry Tucker, a seasoned sailor who was very good with his fists.

2024: Now a commercial building called 'Bless Supermarket'.
