Black & white photo of old stone Post Office at corner of Gallia and Chillicothe Streets. The post office was completed in 1891, expanded in 1914, closed in 1936, and razed in 1956 for the construction of a five story Montgomery-Ward Department Store.
Colored image of Chillicothe Street showing City Opera House at the corner of Fourth Street. It was built in 1895 and damaged by fire in 1914, but was rebuilt and known for many years as the Kresge Store.
Black & white photo of people looking away from camera "Patriotic Parade, So Webster O." written on back. Likely this scene is in 1918 after the Sedition Act was passed. A local farmer, son of German parents, had to apologize, kiss the American flag, pledge support for the U.S. cause, and lead a patriotic parade. It is not known what he had said or done. Simmering Market is at the left and the old brickyard in in the background.
