Here's that top window from the inside. |

same property. |

In 2018 the Post Office and two apartments were
renovated. |

On the left is the entrance to an apartment. Hard
to see because of the bushes, it's under the lower roof.
On the right, an apartment is on the second floor, above the
Post Office. |

The apartment entrance has been moved. |

They did a wonderful job of restoring this old
building. |
|
|
|
|
| The original part of this building is
now swallowed up in four or five additions. (This is an
educated guess as to which part was original.) There is
no information about this building on the Montgomery
County Property Records website. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Another
educated guess as to which part was original. The roof
of the building on the left extends over the building on
the right, so the building on the right may be original.
(There are only two buildings, so we've got a 50-50
chance of guessing correctly.) Whichever building was
here in 1907, it
housed the businesses of a tailor named S. G. Eaton, a
shoemaker named W. W. Eaton, and a harness maker named F.
E. Croll. |

June 2017. The tin roof was one of the last of three
remaining in the village.

The tenants who lived in the
apartment on the left always decorated for the various
seasons. Every year there were more
lights and decorations, each year better than the year
before. It seemed like a "Welcome to
West Point" to motorists driving on West Point Pike.
Unfortunately, the tenants were evicted by Hoff
Properties so the building could be renovated. |
