M316 reaches the east end of double track on the Mountain Subdivision at Beall Street. Cumberland Yard lies just a few miles further ahead.
Excerpt from Downtown Lindsay Legends and Lore Audio Walking Tour:
Beall Block - 62 Kent Street West
The building before you still bears the name of one of Lindsay’s most prominent families: the Beall's. The Beall family ran one of the town’s jeweler shops. It is interesting to note that the Beall Jewellery Firm dated back to the time when Thomas Beall had a small business outlet at Oakwood and became a pioneer resident of Lindsay upwards of 150 years ago.After they moved to Lindsay, the Beall’s business prospered and their wealth grew. In fact, the Beall’s wealth grew such that they were able to build a beautiful mansion on Albert Street with numerous rooms, beautiful trees, and even an out-building for the groundskeeper to live in. In St. Paul's Anglican Church on Russell Street, a gorgeous stained glass window memorializes their name and their stories. Until the 1970s, the Bealls were one of the central families in Lindsay until several members passed away and the children pursued their lives elsewhere. Yet, this building still proudly states the name of the family who loved this little town so well.
Through ownership changes and plant expansions, paper mills are often a hodgepodge of mismatched additions and new nameplates slapped on top of old. I think that's why the IP corrugated shipping container plant stood out to me. Its silver edifice on the south side of Fond du Lac still looks straight out of the Mad Men era. I've always loved the Lester Beall designed logo (1958) and seeing it so large on the tallest part of the building is pretty cool. July 20, 2024.
Located on Vashon Island Washington, the Harrington-Beall Greenhouse Complex was once the nation's largest grower of roses, and an orchid establishment of world renown. There's 59 greenhouses representing over 100 years of greenhouse technology on 23 acres. Established in 1888, it was abandoned beginning in the 1970's.
Beall's was a good store. My mom got me a suitcase there for my first European trip in 1982. I still have it. You can see the old Texas Building on the left, on the corner of the north side of the Square. Fortunately, the aluminum siding is now gone, and the building has been remodeled back to an attractive older style. Barley and Board now occupies the first floor corner section. You can get a huge cheese burger there, and enjoy the view. Sadly, Beall's is no long with us. It moved to the Mall, and went out of business.* The Paschall Building is visible further down the sidewalk (Now Andy's Bar). The Wright Opera House Building is beyond that, with Recycled Books and Records. The street on the left is North Locust, and if you follow it (due north) you'll pass the Texas Woman's University Campus, and from there you can cross University Drive, past the North Branch Library on your right, and keep going until you see the old missile bases--or what's left of them--on your left. Keep going, and the road dead ends at Gribble Springs. The rural stretch of North Locust used to be Fish Trap Road. *I enjoyed Beall's when it was on the Square, but I went into their Mall location, and I was in for a shock. The place looked great, and it was neat as a pin. No one came to wait on me, however. Not a store person in sight. I could have walked out with an arm load of stuff, and nobody would have noticed. As a member of an old Denton business family, I can truthfully say: "That ain't the right way to do it, folks!" UPDATE: The Beall's site later became the Mini Mall, and it was destroyed by fire on December 26, 2017.
Fultz News has since vanished, and the building has been subdivided. Beall's moved to the Golden Triangle Mall, but did not survive. On farther down is T&Sons, Paul's Western Store, and the old Denton County National Bank Building, with its clock ("Old Friendly"). Across East Hickory from there is the First State Bank Building (now Wells Fargo), and beyond that, the first Methodist Church. Across South Locust from there is Craven's Dry Goods. Note the phone booth on the right. This shot was taken long before the cell phones took over.
There used to be a beautiful old barn in this field. I was so looking forward to photographing it on this lovely, misty morning. But back in May, The NPS tore it down to make the wood planks available for restoration projects at Antietam Battlefield.
Luckily, I still had this nice lone tree to photograph.
My good friend, Jason Mrachina, invited me to join him on a tour of the Iowa State Capitol. The capitol gives free public tours, but this was a private tour with State Senator Daryl Beall. Senator Beall turned out to be a photographer himself and he lead us on one of the most interesting tours I've ever been a part of. This image is from the main floor of the capitol building looking up into the main dome. The tour lead us to the top of the dome. We went above the marble columns at the top, above the flag and eagle suspended by guitar strings, above the clouds and eventually outside to the top of the cupola. Thank you Senator Beall for an unforgettable experience. Check out Jason's amazing images from the capitol, here.
Iowa Capitol Building
If you get a chance to visit Des Moines, you want to visit the Iowa Capitol Building. The architecture inside and outside the building rivals anything that you can find in the midwest. There are many locations within the building where you could spend hours of your time trying to find the perfect composition. The dome is an obvious focal point, but there are several sets of winding staircases, great halls with ornate columns, and small details that will keep you searching all day. I highly recommend a stop at the Iowa capitol for any photographer.

540 Beall Ave, Wooster, OH. Built in 2000, replacing an older restaurant on the same site and remodeled to its current look in late 2012 or early 2013.
Store is in process of remodeling/shrinking to make room for a new Burlington store. Fun fact: There used to be a Bealls store in Lehigh Acres that closed in May 2010, now occupied by Save a Lot.

Here's looking at the lone entrance door of the Panama City Bealls Outlet. This store opened on March 3, 2017 and is located in what used to be approximately the right 1/4 of Albertsons #4355, which opened in June 1983 and closed November 2006. In July 2007 dd's Discounts opened in this very space after the building was subdivided. That dd' s closed in late 2008, and this space as well as the entire former Albertsons sat completely empty for the next 8 years!
This Entrance door is placed in what used to be a set of windows for Albertsons. Right where I'm standing for this photo would have been the Video Rentals department - I miss those days :( !
Where the window bends to the left beyond the white piling was Albertsons' original right entrance, with a set a automatic swinging doors.
