New Stone Building to Replace Old Idaho Center Landmark
The old landmark at the southeast corner of Idaho and Center streets will be torn down next week to make way for a stone two to three story building for the Dillon Implement Company. The 650 by 105 foot structure will use rock from near Daly's spur and consolidate stock now scattered in nine or ten warehouses. The project, with a large iron warehouse and wagon yard, will make Idaho Street busy alongside Metlen's brick block and Sherman's new brick store.
