The photo on the left was taken in 1951 and shows the old house located at 959 Main St. The house was demolished shortly after and a gas station was built on the site. Wilfred Swenson operated Bill’s Flying A Station”there for many years before closing in the mid 1960s. The building then remained vacant for several years.

Russ Lemieux opened the Muffler Shop at this location in the early 1970s.

Cavallaro’s Auto Repair currently occupies the building, which has been remodeled and expanded.
