Sharing my extensive collection of POSTCARDS, HISTORIC PHOTOS and PERSONAL PHOTOS. I have a broad knowlege of local history stored away in the dusty reachs of my mind, my library and file cabinets. Also included will be some scribble about my collections that have been somewhat an obsession over the years

LEAD - BLACK HILLS METROPOLIS
by J. E. Meddaugh
This wonderful 'Souvenir of LEAD' was published in 1892. It is full of these artistic collages.
The St. Patricks Centennial Plate (seen previously) indicates the first Siever St. church constructed in 1895, this shows it had to be at least 1892 or earlier as other references indicate 1890. This is the church that burned in 1900 and was constructed as seen on the plate in 1902.
The Episcopal Church seen here on the corner of Addie and Wall Streets was constructed in 1887. The home next door was the home of David Morgan and still stands today.
The Public School was the original Central School on Wall Street.
