Silverton Loses Historic
-:. Blacksmith Shop Which
Stood !50 .Years-.-'-
SILVERTON Ore Jan.;
(Special to The -SUtesinan)
Sitrerton has lostr another of its
old landmarks I? the blacksmith
ahop which for overhalf a century
has stood guard on the corner of
Dak and First street, and whic
nag Deen. torn down to mass way
for the new brick business build
ing to be erected by L. E. Inman,
a Silverton plumber.
This Is the third old building
to go down at 'Silverton during
the past few - months. The first
was the old Hubbs planing mill,
part of which was built in 1850;
the second was the Emerson school
building, built. In 1893. The
question of when the -old black
smith shop was built seems to be
unsettled at Silverton. -Over its
ruins, during the past few days
many .an old timer has1; disputed
whether 'it was In the "sixties' or
the "seventies" that It was built.
,., At all events, one gathers that
it has . been many a long year
ilnce. VDoc" Davis first used It as
his livery. Since then it has seen
other uses, best remembered of
which was the, time It served as
K.yQ. Steelhammer's blacksmith.
"Daddy" Steelhammer jwas for
years to Silverton school children
the personification of Longfellow's
"Village Blacksmith." (
' During more recent years, since
Mr. Steelhammer's retirement, the
old building has housed j the Rob
enalt blacksmith shop. The new
building will contain two store
rooms, one of which will be occu
pied by the Inman , Plumbing
business. Tha second floor will
be converted into modern apart
ments of which there is much need
at Silverton. t . !
