Here's a photo I found of the State Secondary Agriculture School, built in about 1895, that could have been located across from Dixie Drug. It most likely occupied the space where the later Recreation Center's concrete slab basketball court was. It was formerly called the Fourth District Agriculture School in the 20's & later became the old Sylacauga High School. This building was eventually converted into a bording house & later a 42-room hotel.

This book is at the Isabell Anderson Comer Museum.

I'm still trying to find a photo of the old Saxon-Knight Hotel that was next to the Martin Theatre.

I know a lady that might have a photo(painting) of the Saxon-Knight Hotel. Gayle Simpson Saxon, from Childersburg; bless her heart. If you want to talk to her about it, email me and I will give you her phone number (or I can call her myself).

You're a genius! And pretty smart, too! That's it.

That brings the place right out of the "fuzzies" of my mind. Still don't know what color it was, but, what the heck...

Thanks a million, Jerry!

The postcard picture of it is on the Sylacagian website under "My Home Town." Pretty good picture, too.

I want to send this photo link to some friends of mine, but I dont know what E-mail address to send them.
I am not a computer savy person in many ways, so can you help? I can get to angelfire.com, but what from there?

Thanks, Butch Carden

Hi Butch,

I've been visiting the Comer Museum trying to find old photos of interest. Yes, send me what you have & I'll check them out! Just email me with attached photos.

Cubby, I thought the car at the white midget next to Ham's on the right was a Caddy by the V on the trunk. And the one at the Old Hickery in the middle, is it a 56 chevy, or a 54 ford or none of the above. MVB ES

Butch, if you're asking what I THINK you're asking, just copy the following link into an email to any of your friends and they can get there using it:

Sorry to butt in...just trying to help!

Sorry Butch, I mis-read your post or something! Just as Jimmy stated in his post below, to send a webpage link to someone, just copy the link from your web browser address bar & paste it into your outgoing email.

Thanks Jimmy and Jerry. I did that it and worked fine. Preciate your help. I had some folks that i wanted to send the pictures to.
