Look at those suits and hats! This photo was taken in front of the building on the southwest corner of Main Street and Augusta Avenue. I found this photo in the Oxford, Iowa Centennial, 1869-1969 book which lists those in the photo as John Bireline, Frank McDonough, and Al Rohret. That building still has the distinctive entrance and now houses Whaley Campbell Design. You can see the unique arch entranceway in the background which is the building that used to be Mary & Eldon’s back in the day, and more recently Old Roy’s before it moved to it’s new location.
The bulding also housed the award winning Augusta restaurant.I am curious as to what the store front was in the day of the photo?
I will try and do some digging.Thanks for taking the time to make this page

Yes, award-winning Augusta Restaurant also used to be in this location. 🙂 I’m not sure what the original purpose of that space was, but please let me know if you find out!
