And here is the parking lot......

Here is the parking lot that replaced the 1892 jail building. The first shot appears to have been taken right after is was completed in 1959 but before the landscaping was installed. The second shot is also interesting in that it is a slightly earlier image taken before the lot was completed and also before the tower of the 1898 Court House was demolished as that is the only vantage point that this photo could have been taken from. My Dad parked in this lot five days a week for over 15 years. In those days it was called the "Butterfly Lot" Maybe it still is. The rear of the Smeede Hotel can be seen in the middle background.
