This is one of the earliest photos of "New Marissa" take about 1873.  This is looking north up main street from the south side of the railroad tracks (RR ties can be seen mid photo on left).  On the left is the corner of the depot and then the Hamilton House behind that.  In the right (east side) is first the Buckeye house tavern.  The next building north is the first structure in Marissa -  the Hamilton Store built in 1871.  The last building is the Borders Store.
