Chamber recovers old Howe photos for new office

During the icy weekend of Feb 28, Howe Economic Development Director Monte Walker received a message from a citizen stating that the Howe Estates Mobil Home Park had numerous historical photos of Howe and that they were owned by the chamber of commerce

Walker reached out to the park and their owners He was told that the photos were there when they purchased the park and didn't know the history behind them. The current owners wanted to make sure that they were put in a good place where the city and citizens could appreciate them

Two of the photos are of the old train depot in Howe One is a photo of the outside and one is of two workers on the inside of the building There is also a large photo of the school that sits on Denny Street It dates to about the 1940s

Also, a class photo from 1923 was found outside of the previous school prior to the one built on Denny Street

A photo of men standing in front of the Ice House which was located on Hughes Street just north of downtown

These photos will hang in the new downtown chamber of commerce and economic development office along with other memorabilia from Howe's past.

The building is slated to be open in early April and an open house will be offered up for the public to come and see the transformation from the appliance/hardware store that it had been for the last 40 plus years An official chamber ribbon cutting will also take place in April
