Wish the Main Street people would require the facades be rebuilt. A similar requirement was enacted in Brooklyn NY with many of the brownstones. They could build what they wanted as long as the original facades were preserved to maintain the street's atmosphere.

• This sandstone building is the current location of Family Dollar Store which was preceeded by Woolworth's. I have never seen a picture of what was there before Woolworth's. What a beautiful building and what a shame it is no longer standing. Thank-you for sharing this picture
