Old View of Second Street



You may notice that the postcard lists this photo as Third Street, but we are positive it is Second Street.  I am not sure if the streets were renamed at some point or if the photographer made a mistake. 

The house in the foreground burned in the 1990's, but the middle house is still standing. According to Kim Frees, the middle house was owned by the Hendricksons in the 1950's. In later years, the house was used as a Bed and Breakfast, M & M Lodging.  It was also owned by H.L Hunter and a family with the last name of Dwyer -- according to the Millirons (2012).

According to Charles (Chuck) Bigelow, the house in the background was owned by Charles and Beatrice Bigelow when it burnt down around 1942-43. The lot was later purchased by the Romsek family to build their mother a home. This home is now owned by Kay Mahoney (2023).
