White Way Once Functioned by Glow Oil Lamps
Dr. Tom Mitchell recalls Monroe’s past when Grand Street was lit by kerosene lamps on wooden posts and a one armed man manned the lights. The city of about 2,500 people had no gas, electricity, sewers or modern water systems, with a small parish school and a wooden city school. The Gar Risdon Hotel stood opposite C lenses pharmacy and an opera house served recreation. Hidden behind the new McGuire apartment house was the old steam boating area. The city has clearly advanced in thirty years and the future is uncertain.
