This small lot on the corner of Broadway and Miner Street was once the home of the Riddle Building, erected in 1877. The building was home to a drug store for over 56 years until the building suffered from a major fire in 1990. The building was razed and is now home to the Downtown Plaza. This plaza contains a nice historical placard that hangs from a pergola that highlights this site's history. There are also a couple of neat bike tenders, picnic tables and a town clock on the corner.
