Hale Building Door circa 1880
Francis E. Hale was a partner with Major John Parsons, who operated the tabby built Parsons and Hale's General Store (circa 1859), which later, 1915, was rehabilitated as the Island Hotel. The building pictured above, the Hale Building, circa 1880, was also a "two story masonry vernacular building rectangular in plan" as the now Island Hotel, but was about one-fourth the size according to Jennifer Marie Wolfe in Historic Context at Risk: Planning for Tropical Cyclone Events in Historic Cedar Key. "The rhythm of the three-bay, two tiered porch is repeated" also.

The building has served several different functions, but is now housing Tony's Seafood Restaurant and Accord Insurance. Tony's Cedar Key Clam Chowder was crowned Clam Chowder World Champion on June 6, 2009 at the 28th Annual Schweppes Great Chowder Cook-Off in Newport, RI.
This building was also home to another popular and famous restaurant years ago ... The Heron Restaurant.
