Last day in Downtown Springville

     I have really enjoyed my time so far in Springville.  I wanted to do one last day in downtown to cover the rest of the photos that I found.  The first group of photos are of the north area of downtown (so closer to Center Street) and all of them involve the Star Theatre.  Here are a couple, both from around 1915 :

     I really like the railroad tracks that used to go right down main street.  I couldn't find any information about the Star Theatre but it has since been torn down.  Now in the its location is the Springville City Hall.  Here are both pictures as they currently are found:



     Here is an additional photo of a building located at 96 N Main from 1890.

     Here is the location as it is currently found:


     The building is now the Legends Motorcycle store.  I believe that the building is not the original, but they did a good job to at least replicate the original building.  The final photo of downtown Springville is on the Fourth of July Parade from around the turn of the century.  When I retook the photograph, there was a large tree in the way.  Since the reproduction isn't very good, I will just add the old photograph:

    I really enjoyed downtown Springville and totally recommend anyone that hasn't been there to go and check it out.
