302 - 304 N. Main

All three of the buildings - 300 - 304 N. Main were constructed between 1886 and 1891. The building at 302 N. Main is the former home of the VFW Post #971, which formed in October 1930. The VFW later moved to 507 1/2 N. Main and sometime after 1998 they moved to their current location east of the interstate.

A second story was added to the building at 304 N. Main at some point after 1899. A variety of businesses were located in the building over the years including a cleaning and pressing business, radio service business and a liquor store.

The 3rd photo shows the rest of the 300 Block of N Main as it appeared in 1900-1905. The buildings at 306-322 N Main have all been demolished.
