Main Street, Dry Ridge, 1901
|
from John Conrad's History of Grant County, we know that in the above image is looking north on Main Street from near the Broadway intersection. The building on the right - with very little actually showing, is the Carlsbad, and the building next to it would later be acquired by the Carlsbad. The next building is J. B. Sanders Main Store (there's a picture in the Dry Ridge - 1901 section of these pages). In later years, it became the McAtee Store |

"Dry Ridge is still moving on. They will soon have a new bank, three churches, and a large place of merchandising and milling. Her citizens are awake and are sparing no expense to make it a business center for a large scope of the county." - the Williamstown Courier, September 3, 1891. |
