Notes
The Strong building, constructed in 1904, contained the Strong Theatre, Strong Hardware Company, a saloon, and a restaurant. The theater, which accommodated some 1,500 patrons, was designed for dramatic productions, but it eventually became a movie house. The entire structure was destroyed by fire in 1970.
