Another building on the square Carthage MO

Very nice picture. Interesting buildings. And look at your time 1:20 - the top one! I took 1:54 - not even on the chart !!

Yes, Susie. The Carthage Tigers are the high school football team. Carthage is just east of Joplin. The first major civil war battle was fought there.

What a charming building JC. So much character! Who are the Carthage Tigers? High School Football team?

Ours in Litchfield, IL looks very much the same.

If the buildings had a date on them it was usually from 1890 to 1910.
And Chickie, there must be hundreds of squares throughout the midwest and I bet most are picturesque!

These so remind me of the buildings in the squares in Southern Illinois.

Notice how all the buildings are butted up against each other? Great for use where the space is tight but terrible when there's a fire!
