An old brick building contains a date stone on the east side. There's a neat mural advertising the Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show for 35 cents. I haven't been able to find out if he actually entertained people in Bly back in the day. This building looks to remain empty and contains no business. There's an old benchmark that was monumented on the north side of the building but had a gas station built in 1945 with a concrete wall that has covered up the survey mark.
