What is this, Tuesday? Well, we know this is the Department of Public Works building on Elevator Street in town. We are looking for additional information about its history. If you know something, please post it below. Thank you. NEW INFO: the 1922 Sanborn Fire insurance Maps have only wooden buildings south of the railroad tracks and in this area, so this dates to after that time frame, if accurate.

Wayback Wednesday. Dennis Collins and his sister Barbara on Conformation Sunday 1951. Just six years later in June, Dennis would drown while swimming in a local clay pit with a friend. The tragedy would bring the Williamston community together to raise money for a safe place for children to swim and take lessons. For three decades the "Dennis Collins Memorial Pool" would serve that purpose. Photo from the museum collection.
