Whilst working on my recent Fan Art project, Buildings of Hazzard, I realised how many changes take place to the stores and other buildings around Hazzard Square. I thought we could have some fun recording the changes.
Most of us know that after the Georgia episodes Hazzard Square relocated to the back lot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Below are 2 different views of the square as it is now. I have numbered the buildings for reference purposes. As you can see, the square hasn't changed that much, notable exceptions are: building 10 has been re-clad; buildings 16, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are totally different and have been rebuilt since Dukes.
The following buildings stay the same in virtually every episode:
3. Bank of Hazzard (Boss's Bank)
4. Barber Shop
7. Drug Store, Ice Cream Parlor & Bus Stop
11. Hazzard County US Post Office
13. Hotel
18. Hazzard County Gospel Church
20. Boss Hogg's House
22. Cooter's Garage (now rebuilt as a house)
23. Rhuebottom's General Store (now rebuilt as a house)
24. O'Connor Paint Supply (no longer there)
32. Hazzard County Court House
33. Hazzard Police Station
Others only change a few times, but are usually one of the following:
8. Theater/Hazzard Theater/Hazzard Picture Palace
9. Hazzard County Telephone Company/Hazzard County Telephone and Telegraph Co.
10. Seth M. Berley & Co./Furniture Mart/Hazzard Emporium/J.D. Hogg Furniture Mart
12. Joe's Hardware/Hazzard Hardware & Sporting Goods
I have many more to add, and screengrabs to illustrate the changes, but my list in nowhere near complete so please feel free to jump in and add any other businesses you spot. If a business only appears briefly (one or two episodes) please try to give the episode(s) you see it in (and a screengrab if you have that ability). If you are not sure where the business is, give as much information as you can and I'm sure, between us, we can identify it.
