At the corner, turn left (south), cross E. 1st Street, and walk along the east side of Schiller Street.

Just before you reach the corner of E. 2nd St., look at the
sidewalk for an old concrete section that has “Peoples Bank”
inscribed in it. Then look across the street and picture a big
shade tree with a table and chairs beneath it. During
Prohibition, every Monday three bootleggers met at the bank,
cashed checks, and exchanged large bills for small ones so they
could divide their profits. Imagine them sitting under that tree
saying, “One for you, one for you, and one for you.” The entire
town knew what was going on during this weekly ritual.
As you continue along Schiller St., notice the number of windows
in the buildings on the west side of the street and at the
corner of E. 3rd and Schiller. The number of windows in a home
signified the family's wealth; the more windows, the more
well-to-do the family.
