i didnt realize that mcdermot was a retail street in the past....were the store fronts that exist there today original?....i always assumed that they were retrofits of the more typical exchange district building....was it an important street in the past?
one thing i have always wondered and maybe you guys have an answer....why does the building that now houses the mayberry gallery have two facades?....there used to be a building right beside that fronted main street, so why is there a detailed facade on both the street side and to the east?....now that the lot is open, it is exposed, but i wonder why it wasnt designed more typically with only a single facade....did the street pattern change?....what used to be in front of it?
