R.I.P.

So sad -- this Moorish Sullivanesque building is no more. It is interesting to note that its surroundings had not appreciably changed after 95 years. To the left are two single-story storefronts and to the right is a frame house.

After the Photo

In 1906 the Maccabees built a new temple about a half mile from here. This building became the Algonquin Hotel and for many years was the swankiest place in town. The building burned down in 2000.
