Residents watched as the Curious Goods Building in Russell came down with very little effort. One push on the corner of the building and it completely fell to the ground in a cloud of red dust. This building has slowly been falling during the past year and now it is completely down. The pictures can't describe the feeling everyone was experiencing. There were lots of memories associated with this building through the years. At one time the telephone office in town was located on the second floor. A pharmacy was located here over a hundred years ago, Bev and Jim Werts had a store here and most recently, Curious Goods displayed and sold there interesting wares. There was even an elevator at the back of the store.
