This is a picture for the Fort Wayne Consolidated Railway's car #115. This electric trolley was used in 1898 and appears to have operated on a route from Lakeside to our current day Pontiac. What an interesting site this must have been!

We are featuring another neighborhood grocery in this week’s Throwback Thursday post. This Delaware Avenue building harkens back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when merchants lived upstairs from their businesses. The George & Marie Geerkin Grocery and house is a great example of this. This gable front building has large first floor display windows with a recessed front door that has egg & dart patterned molding around the glass. This building has retained enough of its architectural integrity that tells of its past use. Currently Resnick’s Store Mannequins and The Confetti Post occupy the building.

When Mrs. Jennie Ransom died in 1913, her funeral was held at the house. In 1916, Hannah Ransom hosted a Women’s Christian Temperance Union meeting in the house. It is unknown how she was related to Lyman or Jennie Ransom.
