Main Street Looking North From 2nd Street In The '20s


I can see the old Methodist Church on the corner of Main and 4th Street.  I counted back to determine the camera is on 2nd Street.  

Notice the houses that appear to be located at the end of Main Street in the deep background.  Actually, Main Street didn't run its current course (into Burney Road) in those days.  At its present-day intersection with 7th Street, Main Street veered at a 45-degree angle toward the northeast.  The road was known as North Prairie Farm Road. 

There is good reason to believe North Prairie Farm Road led to the Terry and Kyle plantations, which were located in the vicinity of the Covington Woods subdivision.
