In this view, Main Street is to the right. In detail view 1 you can clearly read the signs for druggist and meat market. Detail view 2 shows the Moyer House, built in 1881, which is now a museum
In 1919, three blocks in the center of town were unfortunately destroyed by a large fire. The Moyer house was just outside the fire's path.
