I have looked at an original Sanborn insurance map which shows all existed buildings for the year of the map, not the online maps which seem to have missing items.Do the sanborn maps list the name of the businesses that were located along that strip during a specific time frame? The only images that I have of the old business district is what I have stored in my memory. And of course over time those images are becoming very faint. I would love to reconstruct that business strip even if it is just on paper.
My friend and I have searched the internet high and low for any images of the business district at Mack & Chalmers. None seem to exist accept for the WSU picture taken in 1938. Unfortunately, Cunningham's is the only store that is clearly visable in the shot.
