Dillsboro (N.C.)

This photograph of Dillsboro, North Carolina, by R.A. Romanes (1896-1978) is dated May 21, 1939. In the far right of the picture, across Scotts Creek and the railroad track, is the Dillsboro Elementary School. Twin church spires are visible to the left of center. These are the Dillsboro Methodist Church (left) and Jarrett Memorial Baptist Church (right). The present Baptist church building, seen in this picture, was built 1937 - 1938. To the left of the two churches is the spire and roofline of the Masonic Lodge. The Masonic building was torn down in 1971. In the lower right is seen Cannon's Cabins, now the home of Dogwood Crafters business. In the lower left corner of the picture is an Esso (now known as Exxon) filling station. The road sign in the same corner reads 'Highlands, N.C. - 40 mi.'�
