Another view down Main

Forest and Main. 1900-1911 |

Lakeshore Depot |

Looking South from the East side down Main Street across from
Railroad Street. Railroad tracks would be just behind the
photographer. 1900-1911 |

Another view South down
Main Street. Again just in front of the Railroad tracks.
The large building on the left is now gone and a gas station
occupies the corner. Amanda street is to the right at the
tree. 1900-1911 |
Clyde was once nicknamed "Little
Chicago" and reportedly was once a Chicago mobster hangout.
Rumor has it that Al Capone often sought refuge here. In fact,
there have been many bars and night clubs in the Clyde area:
The Honky Tonk Tavern (demolished), The Question Mark (now Baker
Bonnigson Auctioneers), The Clyde Piper (now The Computer Medic),
The Arrow Cafe', The Clyde Bar (now the Town Tavern).
Clyde also had many railroads running thru downtown. The
tracks to Tiffin used to run down Maple Street and beside the
Methodist Church. Another set of tracks ran to Sandusky.
They extended out from the tracks at the grain elevator on
Burkholder Road. At present the
North Coast Inland Trail
follows one of the railbeds that went from Bellevue to Fremont. |
