Main Street, Oakfield NY - From the Batavia Times special edition published in 1907. The view is from the south looking north. The bell tower of the Presbyterian church can be seen over the post office, which was then located in the Smith block at the corner of Main and Mill St. (now Forest Avenue). On this side of Forest Avenue on the right side of Main, across from the post office, is the building which would become Peterson's Drug Store later in the century. Continuing toward the viewer, other buildings on the right side are the Arnold House and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). The second floor of the IOOF was used for high school basketball competition until the Pearl St. school was built in 1926.
