Beautiful Old Downtown Buildings

Here are a couple of old Seward Business buildings that contribute to our historic down town. The Zimmer building with the Anvil on top was the Rupp Hardware and Plumbing store for many years. The building across the alley was the Gass Furniture store for years. Mr. Gass not only sold furniture but he had several people involved in making little stools  and some other small wooden items. I show this partially to point out the beauty of the old buildings but also to show the attractive 2nd story window treatments. We have a lady in our First Impressions Committee who is providing Business owners the opportunity to have their 2nd story windows treated with attractive drapes. She moved back to Seward a couple years ago and has replaced her Mother in conducting downtown tours on the 4th of July pointing out the history of the buildings. Note the water tower peeking in between the buildings. It is actually a couple blocks away.
