ca. 1926. The central building in this picture is 1113 Broadway, viewed from Broadway Street. In 1926, one of the building's tenants was L.R. Clark, dentists, as indicated by the large signage on the building. Upstairs at 1113 1/2 Broadway was the Ritz Hotel, in operation from 1914-1953. On the left side of the picture is McMillan Brothers, owned by Everett and Alfred McMillan. They owned three stores that offered the strange combination of druggist (ground floor) and musical instrument dealers. They also sold pianos, phonographs and records. The music department was located on the second floor at this location. To the right of the picture, at 1115 Broadway, is a ground floor Piggly Wiggly store, at one time the location of the Queen City Market. (WSHS- negative A874-0)
