In reply to Edna Scott Brock. The marble and its steel hangers were deteriorating and had become a safety hazard. One piece fell from above the entrance and shattered on the sidewalk. Each piece weighed close to 100 lbs and could kill someone if it fell on them. BTW, I own the building where your dad’s store was. It is now Coon Bottom Farms Country Store. We still have several posters from your dad’s store hanging on the walls.

In reply to Edna Scott Brock. Thank you for your comment. I am not sure about the bank. What I know is they have gotten a grant to restore it. Havana Main Street organization may be able to tell you.

It’s nice to know that the town I grew up in still alive and makes new memories for the new generations to enjoy.
My father, Spencer Scott owned the IGA store which was right next door to the Havana State Bank. Could you please tell me why someone took down the front of the bank?
