Thanks, Cleo. I was wondering if it was destroyed in the tornado several years ago. Couldn't find the photos of the damage that were on this site. Thanks again. J.......

I recall from a visit to Clarksville many year ago there were plans to build a museum at or in the vicinity of the train depot. This interested me as my grandfather worked for the RR. Was it ever built? If I remember correctly the train depot was on or near Commerce St. Jo jo.kester@comcast.net > I think the cornerstone has the date 1898? on it; and it has been duplicated > with some modern modifications in two adjacent attached buildings that all > together constitute the "Customs House Museum" that was established by the > late Ursula Smith Beach, then county historian and others. > > > From: "bzbee" <bzbee@bellsouth.net> > To: <TNMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 7:29 PM > Subject: [TNMONTGO-L] ? about post office > > > > I would like to know if the post office from the 1800s( and then the > > electric company) is still at the corner of Commerce and 2nd St. It had > > eagles on each corner and a cupola on top, with lots of terra cotta work > > on it.
