Challenge 1
From the park, glance behind the 1925 house of brick
Built for Dr. Hunter’s family.
Catch a glimpse of times gone by
Where chickens ruled the roost.
Challenge 2
Behind a white picket fence,
A doctor’s office with two side doors,
a sign of divided times.
One is still a door, the other now a window.
Challenge 3
A federal building when it was built,
Opened in 1965 and reopened in 1988,
While mailing a letter, take your photo with two presidents.
Challenge 4
Home to many businesses,
From doctor’s office to library
To tasty sandwich shop,
This charming little date spot has cozy brick walls.
Challenge 5
The group that built this 1931 building,
Served the town before it was a town.
Secret handshakes were exchanged here.
Look high to find the letter G.
