Enjoy seeing the then and now photos. I understand the building is owned by a California outfit that leases apartments. Anyone know for sure? What were some of the first floor businesses that you remember?

Fields Bakery and Parshall's dress shop.

When I was in school (1982-86), the Station House Pizza/Bar was in the first floor (south side of building near tracks).

Back in time businesses ...Ada supermarket , Balish Confectionary, Fields Bakery, then I think Parshall's, and the Jerry’s in that building...could be others I’ve forgotten.

David Johnson 
Fields bakery and next door north side of Frank Balish candy teen hangout. The was a stairway up to apartments in between the two. Barber and the Ada Locker were in the same block.
