I have to tell you, this took much longer than expected. I knew there would be horse confusion and that would throw me off. it did take a day to do just the horses and such. The buildings though took another 2-3 days. There was a lot more detail in those buildings than I thought.
Anyway, I had no references, it seems that in 1965 they tore it all down and replaced it with a bank, there isn't a single trace left this ever existed except for that pillar in the back. It's 1905, and the buildings are falling apart right now, chunks of molding are missing and it's worn, so I can see why they took it down. I still find it odd how many of these stores sell hardware.
