Spanish American War Parade 1898   Main Street Seneca, Kansas

This is a Photo of a parade on Main Street as they turn the corner coming off State Street which is now Fourth Street.  What appears to be "Simon's Fair Grocery" is  today (2004) the  Pony Express Museum. Most of these building appearing  on other picture on these web pages with better view.  Advertisement in the news paper always refered to this business as "Simons Fair". This building was The Strathmam Department Store for many years. The  building to the east of this building is the "Professional Build" with 1884 on the front.  This is the same building there in the  year 2004. The next building could be same as the one today which is the Heinen warehouse today in 2004.

To the far right at the end of the street is  the Opera House with  additional pictures on these pages.  The building on the left  which only slightly  shows was The Cooksey Auto Store and it collapsed on Halloween, October 30, 1968.  There are only three buildings in this picture and possibly a fourth that have  survived from that time.
