"Old Stoney" - City Building
This large stone building with a magnificent tower known as “Old
Stoney” located at 310 East Clinton street, was originally the
Frankfort high school. It was built in 1892 in the Romanesque Revival
style and cost all of $50,000 to construct. Of course that was with
“Real Money”. This view is looking to the southeast from the East
Clinton street bridge.

Another view from the East Walnut street bridge looking northeast. The
school caught fire in 1922 and only the stone was left. Fortunately it
was rebuilt and opened again in 1926.

These photos of "Old Stoney"were taken on May 6, 2010.
East Washington Street Stone Arch Bridge
This view of Prairie creek and the stone arch bridge as well as ‘Old
Stoney’ caught my attention many years ago and remained in my memory. I
will admit I had to clean up this view in the distance a bit, but it is
still great to be able to see such a view in a downtown area. It
reminds me of the old iron bridge along with a foot bridge in Paoli
that sits just one block from the courthouse.

Frankfort Building Murals
Here is a view of both murals looking west from North Main Street. The distant one being what I call the "West Mural". A nice little open area but I wonder what stood here originally.
