The center of town, looking west down Exeter Road, before 1900. In 1900 an overpass was built over the railroad crossing seen in the picture, and it remains so to this day. Most of the buildings on the left were moved including, from left, the Howard Lane house and the larger Shaw Block. The Joshua A. Lane store at far right is still there, where it was later attached to Lamie's Tavern. The Daniel Philbrick house just beyond it stands just beside the railroad tracks. This house was torn down, but the barn became part of Lamie's Tavern, while an ell from the house was moved to another location further west on Exeter Road near the street-railway barn. At far right is a picture of the town pump, where teams of horses drank from the trough on their way through town.
