A mystery photo from the early 1960s - where's the fire?

Here's a photo that falls into the "where in Bluffton was this fire?" category.

John Geiser, BHS grad, sent it to us recently. Here's what he says about the photo:

"I ran across some pictures when scanning slides left from my dad that have both my brother and myself puzzled. These were taken in the time frame of '61 to '63.

"My mom is standing in the one but the location is a mystery. I also have a couple pictures of dad's business from that era also. Notice the phone number on the spoon holder (advertising handouts in the late 1950's).
