Nevada City, the only town in the country that moves ahead by
moving backward, will have another gold-time building restored
to somewhat the way it used to look when Will Howard tackles the
renovation ‘of the large building on Commercial Street recently called
the Davis or Davies Building, previously the Transcript Building.
The photo above was taken in 1912 when the gingerbread (but
not the steel shutters) had been removed. At far left is the
present draft board office and Lawyer Albert Johnson; then the
Jackson Beehive Grocery (now Osborn/W oods). In the Howard
building at far left behind shuttered doors is the present Chamber
of Commerce office (the sign said Crystal White then, though).
There was no sign on the next store (now Good Morning Foods),
but the next one (Now the Meditation Center) was marked "Popular
Bakery. The presently empty store had a target on the outside and
what appears to be a circus poster inside. Across the top in large
letters it says "TheDaily Transcript Printing and.." with the
capital T, D, T and P neatly enlarged down the brick columns.
The name of the paper occupied considerably more than the 24 square
feet now allowed for signs under the historical ordinance. Note
the pipe holding up the plain balcony-~-a far cry from the style of
the 1800's. And what happened to the gable roof that was on
Osborn/W oods ?.
