This is the same block of W. Ferguson. It must now be the early 1930's. Note the model of cars and the dress length & cloche hat on the woman crossing the street. The State Bank and Trust is now a McClellan 5 & dime. Next door, there is a Tyler Guaranty State Bank. The Connally store and the Adams hardware store are gone as well.
The last building before the 3-story one was probably the original location of the Jester National Bank.
The sign on the 3-story building hints that the Swan Furniture & Carpet Co. is no longer.The seven-story building, at the intersection of West Ferguson and Broadway, is the Citizens National Bank.
