If you were sitting in that buggy back in 1895, you would be waiting for your wife, who just finished shopping in the store to the right.

The next building to the left was the Brockett & Strong Hardware Store, built in 1887. The hardware store is currently owned by Jim and Diana Lawrence, who at present are restoring the building, and it's cupola to it's original architecture as depicted here. The cupola of this building was quite popular, and could be seen on a few other buildings in the area. None of the other towers exist any longer.

If you and your wife were to continue up ahead in the buggy,
it would lead to Ashland, past Red Falls, and on to Prattsville,
if you had reason to travel that far...
