A comparison of the area over the years

Aerial View with lot lines

	1924 - "s" - Hayes Restaurant, a part of the Hayes Block This building burnt in 1931.

1931 Dec 23 - Plan to Erect Filling Station Near Depot

William Baldwin announces that he has leased the site of the former Hayes building which was burned a few weeks ago, and will erect a filling station.

He plans to start work soon after January, when he retires from the state conservaion department.

His son, Kenneth will assist him in operating the station.

The land, which is opposite the depot, is owned by T. E. Slattery

Note Remember when columns over years inserted "Lakeview Restruarant" into some of the quips

1932 - January 27 - To Open Service Station William Baldwin and son Kenneth will open the new service station near the depot on Saturday, January 30. The new enterprise is located on the site of the former Lake View restaurant which was destroyed by fire recently The station will be known as the B & B Service station

1933 - Jan 14 The K & K Oil Company has purchased the B & B Service Station on Lake Shore Drive of William Baldwin. The Station will be operated by J. A. Smith, who comes from Plymouth. He plans to remodel the station, putting in a concrete drive, new pumps, and other improvements that will enable him to render better service to his customers

000 Lakeshore Dr. - One source says this building was built in 1920 - by the quips above and the Sanborn fire maps of 1924 & 1937 we know this is a falsifed statement - the building on the 1937 map is no where near this size and sits further back. Note there is a small building on the Lot were the Hayes building once stood. It is marked "vac" and tile. In 1924 no street/postal numbers were assigned on the Sanborn Map but on the 1937 map the street/postal numbers appeared. Many still did not use the street/postal numbers in their advertising etc. untill the late 1950's they hung on to the reference in relation of location from the depot.

1937 - Vacant lot

1940 - 644 - the Applicance store ; 638 the express office, 640 Johnson building

As soon as possible a building is to be erected next to the Shively Shop to house the General Sheet Metal Works operated by "Red" Seese. A Parking lot will be built in the vacant area which once housed a restaurant and dance hall. They were destroyed by fire s everal years ago. NOTE: 1904, Jun 8 - The Colonade lot, now owned by T. E.

Whether this occured or not is not known his ads of 1946 & 1947 carries no location only a Phone# one can not tell by the 1938 news item where he was previously located. Also I did a check check up into Aug. of 1946 and the building promised to be "built soon" had not been started.
