Then & Now at 15 West Main Street with Mainstreet Waynesboro, Inc.

In 1909, Edgar & W.E. Washabaugh Ci**rs had a shop in the downstairs of the Hotel Werner. Part of the hotel was demolished for the construction of the First National Bank in 1921 (Now M&T Bank). The Washabaugh store was located in the part of the hotel that is now the addition to the bank where the Mainstreet Waynesboro office is located.
