Photo 1. Photograph circa 1880 looking north on Pennsylvania Street. The Pennsylvania Railroad track runs parallel to the road. In the distance, the train depot is to the right of the tracks where a person can be seen standing. The structure on the far right is the Casey house.. On the left behind the rick of wood is the Hotel (torn down in 2017). The Hotel sign can be seen hanging in the tree. It is unclear why this photograph is labeled Main Street. Possibly because what is now Main Street and Pennsylvania Street was originally Salem-Charlestown Road, the main road that cut through this area.

Close to this spot would be where the Ebert brothers had constructed a Flour Mill in 1884. This was a thriving business when it burned in 1887. The brothers then moved their business south to Jeffersonville.
