Above we see Main Street South viewd from the intersection of Main St S and Planks Lane taken in the late 1800’s.  Behind the trees on the side walk to the left is 38 Main Street or The Bascom-Mellow House, which was built in 1863.   Further down the street you can see the Arlington Hotel on the South-West corner of Brock and Main.   A notable building in town – The Uxbridge Music hall, is missing as it wasn’t constructed until 1901.
