Built of local limestone, this was a hardware store at least from 1884-1915. More recently a bar. The building to the left, which was likely from around 1920, is also gone. I wish I'd gotten a closeup of the carved sunflowers above the windows. My photo from May 2010.
This little station was very old, but in decent shape considering it had likely been abandoned for 30 years. By 2012, it looked pretty rough, and had some roof damage. Note the exterior car lift, maybe the third one I've ever seen. I was too dumb to take better shots of that. My photo from May 2010.
Kansas has lots of these Marsh bridges (and used to have many more). This one was built by J.S. Vance of Parsons, KS. There was a plaque to that effect, but it was hidden by the guardrail, and I missed it. This was doomed by a late 2009 decision to replace it. My photo from May 2010.
This building was renamed Brighton Hall in 1942, but I'm pretty sure it's from 1915-20-ish. Note the remnants of what must have been a nice building on the right. I cannot find the source again, but I believe the roof was damaged and they had no money to fix it. Now a crappy metal shed fire station (next to an older crappy metal shed fire station). My photo from May 2010.
The first picture is some sort of fraternal lodge, built in 1906. It was in dire condition, and was demolished sometime between 2014 and 2016.
The second picture was originally a furniture and music store. It was built sometime between 1908 and 1915. The sign on the front indicated it had later been an International Harvester dealer. The roof collapsed by 2021, and this was demolished sometime after 2022.
My photos from May 2010. I wish it hadn't been such murky, overcast weather.
