Main Street, Mathews:
This image reproduces a postcard
that was postmarked 1910.
Behind the man crossing an unpaved Main Street stand three large commercial buildings;
the left one is the recently-built Sibley’s Store, completed in 1900.
Just to the right edge of the card, above a white fence, the roof
of the Thomas James Store is visible. This glimpse provides the earliest known
view of the James Store, by then nearly 100-years old.
