East side of Main circa 1906
CLICK TO ENLARGE
Here's another post card photo of Main Street probably around 1906. It was no doubt taken the same day as the previous photo. The photographer simply moved north a few hundred feet.
In the window of the "restaurant" (today Forever in Stitches), a sign reads "Soda." The fronts of these stores have changed very little since this photo was taken.
The street was not yet bricked and the interurban rails are in the center of the street. A two-horse wagon is in full view, while a Model T is parked on the wrong side of the street further north.
On the backside of the post card reads: Published by The Bluffton Post Card Company, Bluffton, Ohio. The card was printed in Germany.
