In addition to buildings, he district also includes Central Park (73) in the middle of the downtown square, which is the center of the community. This park is a contributing site within the district. The center of the park has a fountain, but the original fountain was removed years ago and replaced in 2002. The newer fountain (74) in the Public Square is a non-contributing object." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
