Lately, in Corinna...

May 24, 2000
  

The first building now on Main Street is often called the Hoyt Building. Lately it housed an auto parts store and, most recently, Simply Stuffe. I remember it being an insurance office, long ago. Before that it was a hardware store. I recall there was a veterinarian in the back.

 
 

This picture from Peter Smith's collection of post cards shows the same building sometime before 1912. The Realty Block had not yet been built at the further end of the street. According to the handwritten caption it was called the Post Office Corner at that time. Notice the open grill-work to the left of the building. That is a guardrail on the bridge.
