LETTERS: OLD BUILDING HOLDS A LOT OF HISTORY

To the editor:

Of the many historic homes in our city that have been given special attention, the building that depicts the real history and was at one time considered a love nest for many still stands and, being among the very oldest, bears the name Ye Ole House Gifts, Collectibles and Souvenirs at 120 Broadway.

The very nature of the tall, narrow, two-story brick building with its small, wrought-iron porch on the second floor aroused the curiosity of my nephew from Oklahoma.

In entering, we found a very inviting and interesting display. A very beautiful and quaint light fixture hangs from the ceiling in the small, cubbyhole entrance.

A great deal of history surrounds that building, which I am sure may visualize in passing. As the old saying goes, "If those walls could talk, they could tell plenty."
