"The Spring fire of 1906 razed the East side of West Second street from Hop Alley to Vine and D. Hopson, banker and land owner built two brick business rooms in 1907.  R. E. L. Brown's drugstore and soda fountain rented the North room and Till Toalson, who had been the baker for the burned L. G. West bake shop in the burned St. James block, rented the room on the South.  Toalson is the Irishman standing in the doorway and his customer have lined up with him to make the scene.  Arthur Gallegly, Perry Crim and John Gallegly in the doorway.  Jerome Coleman, Ferd Phipps and Ed Hall on the edge of the sidewalk."
