Glancing over the rest of the picture yon will note the dock has nafc been installed in the dome.

Above the residence can be seen a portion of the roof of the old Presby terian school which preceded the block school built on the site. The wooden building to the right of the courthouse was known as the John A. Nichols Building- uadH for mercantile business.
