The
postcard exhibit continues at the Historical Society Museum. Here are a few more that are decorating the walls.
I wonder what the
Hosier Limited was like.
Do you know what is shown in this picture? The postcard makes it look a lot bigger than it seems in reality.
There are several pictures of Saint Joseph's College on display including this of a short-lived gymnasium building.
I do not know what the tall, three story building in this picture was. I think this was taken around 1900.
This is what Saint Joseph's College looked like a few years before I came to town. The old administration building burned a few years before I arrived.
This is a steam dredge of the type used to dredge and straighten the Iroquois River. It may be the actual dredge that did the straightening.
