    Janet,
    I don’t know about the flea market and I don’t have pictures of it.

    Hello Janet. I have, up to this point, been trying to locate information about the Savings Bank that stood next to the Slater Library and was built in 1873. I am curious to learn why it isn’t still standing side by side with the library. Thank you for any assistance or knowledge you may be able to provide.

    … in the event my request above goes beyond the scope of what your position intends, kindly disregard. It just dawned on me the comment area here is for “leaving a reply” and not necessarily a request. Or pehaps I can cleverly reformat it as a reply such as I wonder what ever happened too….
