The Old
Bank Building
Pictured above is the old bank building (now the Post Office) at the
intersection of Partridge and Davenport streets in Metamora, IL
taken in the late 1800's or early 1900's. The number of people
lining the streets might suggest a parade in progress.
Signs at the top of the roofline read as follows from left to right:
Drugs; Schertz 1887; Hardware; and Metamora Bank. The sign midway on
the east wall reads A.R. Rich, Attorney at Law.
The barber pole
calls attention to the barber shop located in the basement of the
bank building entered by the outside stairway. It appears to be all
men and boys on the boardwalks.
