NOTE: Your help would be appreciated in identifying the buildings, their locations and who occupied them during the past 100+ years. Click on underlined links for pictures. Please note that dates are as found in City Directories, advertising, etc. and do not give the entire time a business was at a certain location. Over time, I hope to make those dates somewhat more accurate, but for now, it’s only an indication that a business was there during that year or period of time
