Description
Children in this view of Main Street in Columbia Falls are standing in front of the building that housed Mary Ruggles Chandler’s drug store and Gus Barton’s grain store, with stairs leading to the second floor apartment.
The horse-drawn wagon has just passed the building with the Methodist vestry on the first floor and Columbia Falls Library upstairs. Next to it, but not visible in this photo, is the Methodist parsonage. All of these buildings burned in the winter of 1945. The site of the store became the Ruggles House parking lot.
The gas lamp on the left is on the porch of the hotel. The Grant Brothers' store is the next building visible on the left.
