Here is a view of Porter Avenue looking south. Notice that the Porter store now says Haigler EQ on the side...
and here is the same location in 1925 during the Haigler Fair Parade.
Here's a picture of the front of the Haigler Equity Exch. building taken some time before 1971.

Here is a picture of the Co-Op in the same location as the Porter Store and the Haigler Equity building as it looks in November 2006.

Facing the Porter store/Equity building was this building that housed the Wood-Found Lumber Co. office taken some time after the "new" elevator was built.
Here's a later view of the "new" elevator with the additional storage on the east and the large quansut building. (notice that the storage silos are not in the arial picture shown below)
East view - taken November 2006.
Here's an arial view of the Porter Ave. / Railroad street intersection taken sometime after demolition of the Haigler depot.
The old elevator building was still standing in the above arial picture. Here is a picture taken of the south side view of the old elevator which was between Railroad street and the tracks just north of the Porter store /Equity office building.
Then there was the Haigler Depot located just north of the "new" elevator.
Jake's Place Corner of Porter Avenue and Newark Street.
Could this tree in front of Jake's Place be one of the oldest trees in town?
If you have pictures of "downtown" Haigler or any Haigler event, we would love to include them for other "Haiglerites" to enjoy. (Current events and pictures are welcome)

The picture of the Haigler Eq, circa 1971 is just as I remembered it when I graduated from HHS in the class of 1971. The pickup truck at the right of the building is the one Keith Day the manager used to drive. My Mother, Inez Flamig, was both the bookeeper and ran the scales there from sometime in the middle of the 1960's to the time she moved to Dalton, NE in the 1973. Our dog Yankee, a German Shepard used to walk her to work in the mornings, and meet her at the door step there at quitting time in the evenings for the walk up the hill. We lived in the house to the southwest of the Highschool.
ReplyDeleteIn those years from 1966-1968 I was one of the kids that mowed the cemetery in the summer.
I have not been back to Haigler since the 1982 School Reunion.
Seeing these photos brings back plenty of memories of what was a much simpler time.
