Photo 100-MMA-2

Comments

Pin location corrected. 1401 E Main St, Salem, IL 62881. View is looking south. This appears to be a nursery or garden center, but judging by the architecture, I suspect the building began its life as a car dealership. In the foreground, US Hwy 50 is seen. It was still straight in this photo. The bridge across the creek just to west was later replaced and a slight curve in the highway was added.
