Williamsville's Street Furniture

The Mission:
On January 29, 2008 around 7pm, the quest to find Williamsville's unique "street furniture" began. On this journey, the exploration started on main street in the Hampton Inn Parking lot near the street Los Robles st and finished near the williamsville cemetery by grove street. Both sides of the street were studied and there were many similarities and differences.

Similarities:

• Both sides have the same brick patterns.
  
• Most of the buildings were made of brick.


• Parking for these shops in the radius stated above was in the rear or in a designated public parking spot with the exception of the Hampton Inn.


• The lighting for this radius of main street has modern day street lights with pedestrian buttons to cross the street.

Differences:

• On the side where the Hampton Inn is located the power lines went from a few wires to more wires when going west.


• The opposite side has no power lines.


• The sidewalk where the cemetery is located has "spooky" thick looking trees which are in abundance. The opposite side of the street has thin trees spread apart.

Unclear Observations:

• The brick that is part of the street furniture is hard to determine the age or if it was reused.


• Some of the buildings that are made of brick are hard to determine their age as well if some of the shops were completely renovated such as the brick Starbucks on the corner of California st.

Interesting Observations:

• The Starbucks on California st and main street had interesting landscape. Outside there were tall plants that looked like wheat.


• The cemetery sidewalk had no brick just a sidewalk in between grass.
• The location of the chain hotel the Hampton Inn right in the rite aid plaza and within walking distance of these shops, is something I have not come across before. In this location of the Hampton inn, a historical marker shows where an old ice house was located.

"Just Guessing"

• The brick buildings on main street in williamsville have been there for over fifty years maybe over a hundred.


• Not all of the buildings are made from the original brick or are imitations such as the Starbucks.


• These buildings are mostly "mom and pop" shops and trendy stores, their existence may be gone in ten or twenty years if chain stores begin to move in this neighborhood.


• This specific part of the street was created as the center of Williamsville with stores for the populations needs.
