A Moment in Time: Old Photos Invited from Our Readers

Print More
This unfamiliar scene was pictured on November 24, 1922, and the photo was taken looking southwest from Depot Street (now Mountain Road) from a spot in front of today’s Three Figs. The only building still there now is the tall one at the right edge: the Sikes grist mill. With its elevator top removed, it’s now the Nath Building at the corner of Ffyler Place. The big building with the overhanging column-less portico is the railroad freight house, which was repurposed in about 1869 from its previous role as the Congregational Church on High Street. The other two buildings are the depot and the engine house.
