CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE

This is Church Street, Bluffton, but not the street of today. Of the three structures in this post card photo only one exists today. On the left is the First Mennonite Church. In the center is the Victorian Bluffton school house. On the right is the original Methodist church. Notice that the street is neither bricked nor paved. And, if you look closely, there appears to be a man standing in front of the school house.
