Description
This picture shows a view of Main Street in the 1930s looking North. Note the large elm trees that are still standing at the north end of the street. At one time they lined the entire street on both sides making a lovely setting for the stores and businesses. They had to be cut down in the late 1940s due to Elm Disease.
Today, in 2010, the most prominent building shown that is still standing is the large white building known as the Taylor Block. In its varied history, it has housed a jewelry store, two dentists, a printing company and several other businesses. Now it serves the town mostly as an apartment building.
