The upper part of the facade of this building is what caught my eye. It is a shame that the windows were closed up but I suppose it is better than nothing. I would think eventually the building could have been used for something else. As you can see, it sits next the Art Deco building.
Canal House
The Canal House was built in 1842 in the Classical Revival style as the headquarters for the Whitewater Valley Canal Company. It is located on East 4th Street just a half block from the courthouse. This view is looking south and was taken on May 15, 2010.
Historic Heineman Corner
A very old and attractive building. It is located at 5th & Eastern Avenue. These photos were taken on May 15, 2010.
Historic Heineman Corner
This is a view of the back and side of the building looking north-northwest from Eastern Avenue. On the side of the building are the words, “Historic Heineman Corner”.
Connersville Depot
The depot is located at 1012 North Eastern Avenue, nearly six blocks north of the building shown above. It was built in 1914.
This
was the equivalent of our fire stations in 1870. It probably housed a
hose cart that was pulled by men unless there used to be a horse stable
nearby. I suppose the cart had an open container where water was poured
into from any source that was available and then hand pumped. Later in
that century they had a small engine that would do the pumping. It is located on the northwest side of downtown at West 7th & Washington Street.
Name & Date Stone
