General Notes

Note

Note the new concrete, fully paved Main Street and the construction on the north of the old Lake Shore Pavilion is still dirt and not yet paved in brick. The steamer in the photo is G & M’s City of St. Joseph. Also, the foundation north of the building and south of the ferry hasn’t been constructed yet. Analysis by James T. Faasen, Sept 2024.
