Pandora's Commercial House in 1907
You've passed this house on State Route 12 in Pandora many times. Did you know it was once called the "Commercial House?"
Look closely at the photo. We spotted seven people.
Here's a view from a 1907 post card written to Sidney Hauenstein of Bluffton. The message on the right side reads:
"Am going to Cedar Point today. My mother's (cousin?) and I. Come over to Pandora Thursday or Fri. evening if you can. Bessie."
Sounds like an text message 110 years later.
