  • Grand Avenue
    This is a postcard photo, dated 1914, that shows a colorized, enhanced version of the 200 block of West Grand Avenue . The First National Bank of Frederick (now BancFirst) was located at 200 West Grand in the building that is now City of Frederick offices. The Wide-a-Wake Variety Store was located at that time in a building where the city’s drive-through is now located. The building’s exterior received a major update in the 1950s, giving it a completely different look from its original. Colorized, enhanced postcards like this one were very popular in the decade after 1910. This postcard was printed and sold by the Wide-a-Wake.
  • Ligon House, 1905
    The Robert Leonard Ligon home was located at 123 North 12th Street in Frederick . Pictured in 1905 are Mr. Ligon, Alice Waggoner Ligon, Anne Ligon (later Mrs. H.T. Harrison), and Ernest Mayfield Ligon. Many years later, the property was purchased by A.S. Minter who moved his farm home to the location. The original Ligon home was kept on the property, but turned 180 degrees to face the alley. Its new address was 212 E. Floral.
