Main Street (00746)

A photograph of Main Street facing west taken in 1948. Two of the buildings are Bailey Spencer Hardware Company and Raylass Department Store. Cars are parked on both sides of the street and it looks like construction is taking place on another building, probably the remodel of the front of the Leggett's Department store, including a new facade. The view is from the 1000 block of Main Street facing Tenth Street.
