Times change and building that still stand can be recycled to have many functions. IN 1925 it was a fire station in Woodward, Iowa. I remember it as a fire station with a single bay for a fire truck. A transom window combo stretched the who width of the from of the building. Twenty years or so ago the garbage doors disappeared and a man turned it into a burger and fries place. Then it became Lou’s Diner and Lou reworked it into a common downtown cafe. They had huge tenderloin sandwiches and pancakes that would be as large as the plate. Lou’s husband died and the business was sold to someone who just couldn’t get it to work as a cafe. I see now that the upstairs windows are replaced and two apartments are being built. Back in history there was a large opera house that sat in the park area now with the mural. Lou was a friend of ours. Her daughters created another Lou’s Diner in another larger town and it is down very well.

Look the building transformed to different work, but still continue to pull by its look and mural.
