Year Growth in Big Piney Town and Builders
Winter nears and Big Piney tallies a year of growth led by F A Fear constructing a frame cottage for Albert Larson and other homes. Major buildings include a stucco bungalow, a new livery barn, a two story dwelling, a pool hall, a drug store, and the Valley Theatre, with total improvements estimated over 21 500 dollars as eight more houses loom next year. The town buys and remodels the old school into a town hall and envisions water works and electric lights, plus a strong school system in a thriving community.
