Brief Stop In St. Paris, Ohio

A couple of weeks ago wandered along Route 36 winding up In St. Paris, Ohio.  

The population in 2014 was 2,033 which was an increase of 1.8% from the 1998 in 2000.

Nicely maintained buildings including the usual red brick and unusual - for this area of the Midwest - yellow block.

While these structures are neat and tidy, there is evidence of a earlier time.
