Eldorado main street around 1916 showing the three stores.
The dark store on the right was operated by James Deremo and later Fred Vandervoort. The big white store beside it was built in 1915 by E.A. Strebe. The store across the road (still standing) was erected by G.R. Jones. To the left is the former post office.
