The northeast corner of Onondaga Street (renamed Main Street in 1910), in 1900. The corner building was built in 1891 by Professor J. L. Budd and Judge John L. Stevens. The Opera House occupied the entire second floor with a capacity for 600. Grove and Zenor Grocery Store (afterwards, Grove Bros., then J.J. Grove) occupied the west half of the first floor until 1916. J. B. Elliott's furniture store first occupied the east half. The building was divided in 1903 when sold to J. E. Davis and A. L. Potter. A firewall was then built through the second floor making this into two buildings. The A. L. Potter Hardware Store can be seen in this photo, occupying the east half of the building. Carr Hardware later occupied that space, before moving to the south side of Main Street around 1923.
