An exhibit of photographs and images collected by Mark Giordano detailing the history of the Walker, Masonic and Roach Blocks on Main St. - the site of this July's devastating fire. From Giordano's exhibit text - " After the fire on Main Street on July 7, 2009, I went down to the site to look at the buildings and watch their demolition. Initially, I didn’t give any thought to their history. As I stood and walked among the crowd, I heard others talking and asking questions about the origins and age of the buildings, and began to think about it myself. I realized I had no idea when they were built and what they had been through their history, even though I walked and drove past them regularly. And they would soon be gone. I thought that if I didn’t know and was interested, maybe other people were also curious.
