Main street of Highland Mills, looking North. On the left hand side is the former firehouse and current Town Hall, with the funeral home of Smith, Seaman and Quakenbush after Town Hall. Right hand side could be any number of stores and/or offices, including Beldings/or Grey pharmacy, depending on the time frame. Probably in the 1920's or 30's.
Main street of Highland Mills, right before turn of the 20th century. You can see Town Hall on the left, but no firehouse. Street is not paved and horse and buggy was the mode of transportation.
Small paper stand run by James Earl, standing in front of stand. The building next to it was the Lameroux Hotel and up on the hill is the wooden bandstand in Victory Park and, now of course, it is made out of stone. You can see a small portion of the front porch of the Townsend House and what looks to be people surveying the road. Now this is Route 32 and Park Avenue area, when this was taken it was called Route 32 and Railroad Avenue. At the end of Park (Railroad Avenue) was the train tracks and station.
Downtown Central Valley. Circa probably 1930's from the cars. The Elm Street and Railroad underpass are showing in the second photo.
