Temporary Bank Location
In 1880 a giant fire destroyed the Bennett House Hotel and the Haskill Store. Following the fire, Henry used Byron's law office to temporarily conduct his business until a new bank could be built. Byron's law office was located at 607 W. Main (2005's James P. Miller Law Office). This office still contains a safe that Henry used for his banking needs.
