This was the center of the business district
in Kezar Falls Village. The large 3
story building was built by George W. Towle in 1886. Preston J. Stanley and
son, Orman, bought the Towle building in 1900 and it became known as the
Stanley Block. At that time the post office was located here with P. J. Stanley
as postmaster. In 1910 George Towle and Allen Garner started the Kezar Falls
National Bank on the first floor of this building. This picture taken about 1915 shows the
Norton Block built about 1910 to replace the old S.P. Fox building and they
continued to sell grain and groceries.
Notice the Newbegin Cigar Shop (left) which is located at the end of the
bridge.
