Before the two original buildings next door at 801 Main were moved away in 1905 to 721 Grant <br />and 901 Main, another photo was taken that appears to show the edge of the current building <br />at 809 Main on the far right: <br />LHM 88-01-16 <br />In the early 1900s, a second hand store is shown as having been located in the building that is <br />now 809 Main. The following excerpt from the 1908 Sanborn Fires Insurance Map shows this <br />building identified as a second hand store. The building shown on the 1900 Sanborn Map <br />appears to be now be longer. <br />According to past survey reports done on 809 Main, the proprietors of the second hand store <br />may have been Powers & McQuain. The Louisville directory for 1908 shows that Powers & <br />McQuain were "dealers in new and second hand furniture." They are also listed in the 1909 <br />directory. For 1910 and 1911, the listing was changed to a furniture store operated by I.E. <br />Powers. <br />The following photo from Boulder's Carnegie Library for Local History, and a close-up from a <br />Louisville Historical Museum photo, show the second hand store at 809 Main on the right of the <br />photo in circa 1908-1910: <br />Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, 213-2-12. <br />3 <br />
