This colored version is not the same picture colored. And it is not a color photograph. Artists filled in the proper color and printers turned them into postcards.
790x491		 South side of the square. Many of the buildings are still here. The 1st National Bank building on the far end will probably be demolished soon (2002)
790x496		 With sandstone steps, marble interior, the First National Bank building must have been nice in its heyday. The right hand portion was the Masonic Temple.
790x495		 One building--on the far end of the block--is still standing. The third building was J's Place--a bar.
790x480

The Hub Hotel, the source of the time capsule, is shown on this ink blotter. The Illinois Central Railroad's schedule is on the right.
790x317		 West Side of the Square. Primghar Saving's Bank, on the corner, has a new building on the corner now. Maybe one of the other buildings remains.
790x503		 East side of the square. The fourth building still stands. Note the power poles with some 32 wires on it.
790x494		 Railyard. Looking south, I believe. Coal powered steam engines would have been the motive power. Today, coal shards can be found in many places.
