Lowry House ~
[At the corner of Jefferson and Main]
This pen and ink drawing of an earlier view of the Lowry House hotel used to
hang in my grandmother's house. I remember hearing that she had commissioned it
from a local artist, Robert C. Rehm. It is based on an old photograph. - - - Jeff Schalles
