At the September Village of Hilton Board Meeting, Walt Horylev congratulated Gary Inzana (left) for winning the Walt Horylev Civic Beautification award for 2013. Gary won the award, a plaque that recognized his outstanding renovation of the old hardware store at 9-11 South Avenue in Hilton. “The building is now an asset to the central business district,” Horylev noted. The structure, the oldest commercial building in Hilton, was vacant for a considerable time before being purchased by Inzana and now houses a new hardware store: the Lakeshore Supply Company. Built in 1880, the building originally was owned by True D. Matson and served as a combined general and hardware establishment. It survived the disastrous fire of 1895 which destroyed all the buildings between it and East Avenue.
