This is the oldest photo I have of my great great grandfather's home...the Captain Wm. Lucas home which used to stand in the 900 block of Washington Street. Capt. Lucas is seated on the right and has the family dog at his feet. Mrs. Lucas is standing on the porch. My great-grandmother-to-be, Mary Crump Lucas, is standing in the front yard. Her brother is also there with his bicycle. :) This photo was taken about 1875.

Same home a few years later after a porch was added on the right side of the photo.

Same house...about 1900. Now it has a full porch around the front. The tower is still on the house.

This photo is sometime in the 1940's shortly before the house was torn down to make way for the grocery. Notice that the tower had been removed at some point.

The home of William J. Lucas that was located on the N-W corner of 9th and Washington St. It was taken down in the early 50's and the Standard Grocery was built on that location. This picture is in the 1898 GAR book
