  Gilford Hotel, Third and Main , Seneca, Kansas

This is a small poor quality photo and over enlarged however it  shows  several things which were not  seen on any other picture of the hotel. The Gilford Hotel with the fountain  in the center of the intersection. This was for the purpose of watering the horses  that were on Main Street.  This was at  Third and Main and the pillion which  were in the center of street also.    During this time the autos were  parked in the center of the Street  and the pylons  marked the end of the parking area.  This must have been some time around 1920. This also shows the paining mill  south (right) which I remember reading was destroyed by fire near this date.  This  building  on the south side of the Gilford Hotel.   There appears to be a second light near the north entrance however it may be the sun shining on the corner of the porch post.  Would welcome any information or pictures from this time. 

Would welcome more fact concerning the Gilford Hotel or this picture.
