Main Street today and - let's turn back the clock 100 years or more

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, August 24, 2014

Here's another Ada "past and present" scene. Imagine you are standing on Main Street at the intersection near the First United Methodist Church facing south.

Our scenes are from today and, we're guessing circa 1910. We base this on the Model T Ford parked near the horse and buggy on the west side of the street and the manner in which women are dressed on the east side of the street.

The 2014 photo was taken by Bailey Bowers. She also combined the new photo with the old colorized post card.

Waiting for take off

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 21, 2014

You know this phrase from childhood: "Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the doors and see all the people." Some day you may tell your grandchildren that you stood beside the steeple of the First United Methodist Church before it was put into place atop the church. In the meantime, the steeple sits on the ground in front of the church.
