Color photomechanical print of the east side of Chillicothe Street facing south including the old Post Office and the First National Bank. The post office was completed in 1891, expanded in 1914, closed in 1936, and razed in 1956. First National Bank was built in 1912 and doubled in size in about 1924. Gallia Street runs between the buildings.
Black and white photo image of Chillicothe Street. Marting Brothers at 515 Chillicothe, United Woolen at 513, Beis Brothers at 511, Charles Wenten Shoes and Men's Clothing in the distance, Bragdon's Dry Goods at 405 Chillicothe. Also shown: street car, people, and wagon and J. F. Carr, Jeweler.
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.
