  1. Unknown Source - Lakeshore Electric car crossing the Vermilion River Bridge heading west. Around 1939, as the electric railway system was being dismantled, this bridge accidentally collapsed during the process and to the dismay of Vermilion village officials blocked river traffic for a significant amount of time. This same photo can be seen on the Ohio Historical Plaque commemorating the old crossing / bridge that is located in Rotary Park on the west bank of the Vermilion River.

  2. Unknown Source - A black and white photograph of the Fischer Building as it was being constructed c. 1914. The building was built by Vermilion lumberman George Fischer. To make way for it the old Lake House / Maud-Elton Hotel that once occupied the southeast corner of Liberty and Division / Main Streets was moved eastward - down the hill - to the southwest corner of Liberty and Exchange streets. That move, it is said, didn't cause even one crack in a piece of plaster of the old hotel.
