Then and now
The top photo, published in the April 1954 edition of The Sylvan, a publication of the Mead Corporation’s Sylva plant, shows the proposed relocation of the highway and Scotts Creek near the paper company. Taken from the water tank on Hampton Street, the picture shows Lawrence Monteith’s store which was in the vicinity of where the Valero station is today (bottom photo). Visible in the upper center of the top photo is the Raymond Nicholson residence, which is still standing but obscured by trees in the current photo. The relocation of the road and creek allowed Mead to build a 100-foot extension on its building, according to an article in the same issue of The Sylvan.– Mead Corp. photo (top) and Herald photo by Nick Breedlove.
