Note the Fire Engine House is in it's proper location just

east of the bridge on the south side of main Street. In the

full sanborn view, the "new" Central School (built in

1875) is shown just below the number 9 (above). Also

note there is a dwelling where the band stand

(built C.1911) is now located.

 

Of the many items to note, Mansfield Ave is shown as

South Broadway, the Beverstock hotel on the SW corner

of the East square is now the refurbished Shelby Hotel.

 

Across Main street on the NW corner was the Opera House.

The map indicates the many shops on the street level

(drug store, grocery, etc). Just to the east, there is the

railroad office located next to the siding of the then

Baltimore & Ohio railroad.

 

Following the railroad north, the Sash, Blind, Door,

and Lumber Mill of Francis Brucker is shown on the

west side of the tracks. This was to later become

the Shelby Lumber Co.
