The old Rib. Moore house has been leveled and on its site Fred W. Kellerstrass is going to erect 2 three story stores. P. Kennedy has the contract for the new buildings. The whole block from Jefferson to Washington Street, except for Capt. Holt’s little white house where the Zeis shop now is, was a peach orchard. F.W. Kellerstrass is having his old brick residence on Illinois Street torn down and will erect a new store there.
