Summary
East Potomac Street looking west in 1906. A flourishing downtown had started taking shape farther away from the flood plain around the turn of the century.
The tall Victorian Meadows Building on the left still stands today where Smith & Carlisle had a general store on S. Maple Avenue at the time. The Horine's building had not yet been built on the square corner. The old bank building can be seen on the square corner to the right.
Note the tree in the road in the right foreground. Those were likely telegraph lines running up the street as that mode of communication was critical to the railroad in those days.
This photo was commissioned as part of a campaign by Mayor Horine to generate interest in the town's progress.
