This photograph from the early 1950s shows both sides of the street of the 300 block of Missouri Street, Alma, Kansas. A new brick front had been added to the buildings at 319 and 321 Missouri Street on the right. This is one of the first view where that change had occurred. Most of the businesses are not identified. The first building on the left side is the First National Bank. Next to it is a Gambles store. The first building on the right is a Rexall drug store.
