The Dorsey Hotel was on West Main just east of where Piggly Wiggly is or maybe the block where the Pig is. There was also a bakery there nearby. Fricke? I think. marilyn

My memory fails me there, or maybe I am not as old as I though I was. I remember in the area where the Piggly Wiggly is now a huge old Victorian house that was moved to Fort Worth. Harold Shifflet lived in it when I was a teen. He was only boy in town with a Motorcycle (Mustang), some other shad cushman motor scooters. I had neither one. You can read about the house in the RRR. That is where I learned it was actually moved. I understand they paid $1000.00 for it and another $1000. to have it moved. I bet it is worth a fortune now. It must have been moved in the 60s. I do have good memories of Camp Cedar across Main street from this spot. It was another one of those old motels with a small cafe. Could this house be the same as the hotel, maybe so.
