On the left is the Farmer's Daughter restaurant at 228-230 Main St. The building dates to 1857, making it one of Evansville's oldest. Originally known as the Washington Hotel, its basement was said to be part of the Underground Railroad, a network secret locations which housed enslaved people after they escaped and pursued freedom. It was a clothing store and haberdashery for awhile, and the well-known Farmer's Daughter restaurant started its three-decade run in the early 1960s. Loft apartments were created on upper floors during former Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel's administration. (http://archive.courierpress.com/business/old-farmers-daughter-building-to-have-new-restaurant-unique-purpose-23ce4d78-e15e-7f05-e053-0100007f-342172031.html/) In 2017 or 2018 a new restaurant opened in this location, with the building completely restored. The tall building further down Main St. on this side is Old National Bank at 420 Main St. That bank opened in this location in 1970, although as it business it opened in 1835 and was renamed Old National in 1883. This building still stands, but the bank has its headquarters elsewhere. Across Main St. is the sign for National City Bank at 227-229 Main St. Virtually none of this can be seen in this picture, but the bank moved to this location in 1914 and was renamed National City in 1922. This was the site of the original Vanderburgh County courthouse. The building still stands, but the bank no longer exists. Finally, the tall building on this side is the 1916 construction at 329-331 Main St., Citizens National Bank at the time of this photograph. The sign on the building today says Hilliard Lyons after the subsequent tenant, but today it is occupied by another business.
