The top left is looking south on Chillicothe with the National Bank Building at the left.
The top right is looking west on Gallia Street from Bond Street. The dark building with the Pepsi sign has had many different uses through the years; in 2020 it is home of the Russell D. Williams American Legion 471.
The bottom left is looking north on Chillicothe Street from Seventh (7th) Street.
The bottom right shows Shawnee State College and is looking south east from Second (2nd) and Chillicothe Street.
The image on the left is looking north on Chillicothe Street from Third (3rd). In about the center of the photograph is a three-story building with dormer windows on the roof. This is the Grand Opera House built in 1895. It suffered damage from a fire in 1914 and was rebuilt to be used by the Kresge dime or ten cent store for many years. The date "1890" is a typo error.
The one on the right is the same scene in 1980 when the Kresge store looks white.
