Looking North down Main Street just South of Forest.  The building on the right hand side is the old Post Office. 1900-1911


Another view down Main Street looking North.  This view is from the intersection of 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.
