NOW TAKE A LOOK AT TWO RELATED PHOTOS!
The top photo, taken between 1913 and 1918 shows the train depot with another building on the right side of the photo. The building was a business on the NW corner of Hugh and Main Streets.
The lower photo shows the same building, now a residence on Lew Street. It was moved when the bank was built on Main Street.
