McLean Sees Surging Building Boom in 1925 Progress
McLean reports a strong start to 1925 with $77,000 in early building activity and several major projects planned or under way. A five stand gin for the Cooperative society, a modern Presbyterian church at about $15,000, a new Main street brick building with two shops, and a dry goods store upgrade are in progress. The chamber of commerce moves to a new Main street office as many new homes and school facilities are prepared, while a housing shortage for rent persists due to families relocating for the school term.
