West side of Main Street, from a postcard sent 16 July 1906. Briggs Pharmacy at 61 Main St. has its awning raised, and there is a horse and buggy in front of the Rathbone Hardware store at 47 Main St. Neither building survives today. Sadly, Oakfield has lost many of its notable landmarks, due to economic reasons and fire. Gone now are the log schoolhouse, the Union Free School, the Cary Seminary, the mill pond, the grist and plaster mills, the Arnold House, the Opera House, the Rathbone block (formerly Thompson's IGA and Santo's Auto Parts), A.A. Grinnells Lumber, the Catholic Church on South Pearl Street, most of the Gypsum Plant, the West Shore railroad and overpass on South Main Street, and 61 Main Street.
