Description
The merchants of the north end of the village in 1925 consisted of McLeary & Leighton Clothing, Kingsley & Allen Meat Market and H. J. Bates Boots & Shoes.
Note the structure on the front porch roof of the clothing store. There was a meeting hall in the second story of this building. When motion pictures came out the meeting hall was turned into a theater. However, it was not long enough to focus the projection properly. In order to increase the distance from projector to screen a projection room was added onto the roof of the porch below.
