A hotel, named the “Corinna House”, owned by Fred Welch, was on the north side of Main Street near the railroad tracks. The tracks run across the picture in front of the men standing. The railroad station was a short distance along the tracks to the right. Close to the railroad station, the hotel was a stopping off point for travelers.
I think the railroad tracks can be seen running across the picture just in front of the men standing by the porch.
