Webster Street
This mural depicts Webster Street on the north side of the square in downtown Chillicothe circa 1916. Webster Street was well traveled by visitors arriving and departing from the Milwaukee [railroad] depot on the east end of town who might have traveled by the Bus, Baggage & Transfer Line operated by Ishmael & Allen. Many of the buildings in the mural are still used by downtown businesses.
Erected by Main Street Chillicothe and Chillicothe Development Corporation.
