The Papoose & The Bank

The Bank of Lassen County was located 800 Main Street. While the bank no longer exist, the building. does. The original building’s entrance was arched. Many an old timer I interviewed had interesting stories about the columns on the corner supporting the arches. A common occurence was the local Indian women would lean their papoose against that column, as indicated by today’s photograph. That is your Tuesday tidbit as it returns!
