There is a letter on the web rating the depot as a tourist attraction in which the person said the stagecoach was outside the depot as late as June 2013. An independent photo shows it to be weather worn and in rather bad shape.

What was the name of the first book store in Independence?

Is the name of the proprietor given?

Well, they are doing a lot of construction to buildings around, but 310 isn't one of them. From what I heard, someone attempted to break in and SET IT ON FIRE, so they replaced a few of the boards...what a shame. One of the buildings that's getting a rejuvination of sorts, I've included a picture.

The book store has what I assume to be the proprietor's name. So far I haven't found any outside information to confirm the trivia game's answer.

I'll give the answer later today if no one comes up with it.

Mad, hope you don't mind but I was taken back by a couple of old images you posted and I just had to mend them together the best I could. It was almost as if you were using a tripod and you simply rotated the camera a few degrees.

The construction is on Maple and Osage (better known to me as Western Auto across from Montgomery Wards, chuckle). That Mexican place is supposed to be coming in at that location.

In the lower building is where "Polly's Pop" is supposed to be coming soon for the last three years or so.
