For what it's worth, this is the building at the NW corner of Seminary and Main. As I remember, it has three floors, and probably houses three or four shops along Main Street. No idea what's in them now (and can't remember what was in them back then!), but I remember the "turret" on the corner from the second floor up. In checking my October 1957 Galesburg phone book, Lyle M. Nelson is shown as living at 667 Maple Street. This is just south of Losey Street, and may be on the corner -- just south of the fire station there. Tom Lundeen

Hi Tom, I've been working on this tonoc w/Dena. I've gotten this far--was going to ask you, anyway, and you kindly showed up<G>-- In 1949 or '50 would you have a record of grads of GHS? Or Corpus Christi? This Alyce Kinton (m.Orval BAKER) should have grad. about that time. Just possibly, and a rare thot', she may be listed as VILARDO or NELSON in Hi. Sch. I have several older Reflectors but none that recent. FYI-A lot of Lodges were on 2nd floor, along w/apts., and 3rd floor the same. DeForest(was it D.D.?) Paint Hdqtrs.@ 349. Main Beauty Shop @ 350. Red Cross Drug Store @351. etc. the rest are in the '49 City Directory. Thanks much for the help.
