• The Zwicker store is in the right foreground. It has a fine balcony that was
sometimes used for VIPs to address a crowd.
• At the next building on the right Mr. Cushing’s barber’s pole can be seen.
He shared the building with Wile’s Jewelry.
• First on the left is the Zwicker Hall [meetings, band and movies]. • W.F. Joudrey’s
livery stables sign is clearly visible next door.
• The Westhaver house dominates the back ground on the right.

• ‘ Next was Knott Burgoyne’s small home…[used by]..Mr. Vaughn’s Photography
[later Lemmy Zwicker’s shoe repair]
• Historians are indebted to Mr. Vaughn for his many contemporary photos,
including those of the school and students. Fred Mosher recalls that he left
town during the First World War and never returned.
On the far side of Main Street, from left to right, the following can clearly be
seen: The MacDonald/Westhaver home [opposite the smithy and tin shop],
the G.W. Westhaver home [next to the bank]. On the opposite corner of Pleasant
Street is the Wile’s Jewelry/Cushing barber building, then the Zwicker
Store building, the Schnare owned building with post office on ground floor,
and standing back, the white house soon to be the first town hall.
