 Beall's Department Store 1989  Heritage
Park, 300 block West Main Street, Denison
The
park was created after Beall’s Department Store, Denison Optical
Center, and the old Kingston Drug Store burned on December 23, 1989.
Fire departments in Sherman, Pottsboro, Howe, Anna, Van Alstyne,
Colbert, and Whitewright were called in to assist with the fire. An
18-year veteran of the Denison Fire Department, T.O. Fulce,
was killed fighting the blaze in freezing temperatures. This was the
first fireman killed in Denison since the turn of the century. The
family sued the Beall’s owners.
