This is the photo of the Assay Office in Kingston as it appears on page 128 of the Shermans' book (1975).  At the time, it was an abandoned, falling down hulk with open space around it.

This is the same building on April 5, 2000.  It has been turned into a private residence, and an addition has been put onto the rear.  Also, there was a picket fence and houses all around it.

This is the photo of the same building as above from page 110 of Varney's book (1981).

Above left is the photo of the brass bell that appears on page 129 in the Shermans' book (1975).  According to the caption, it was once used to signal the arrival of mail.

Below left is the same bell on April 5, 2000, but it is now standing in front of the volunteer fire department.  I don't know if the bell was moved from its previous location or if the fire department was built behind it.

This is a photo of the Percha State Bank appearing on page 109 of Varney's book (1981).

This photo of the bank, with the brass bell in the foreground (which really confuses me as to whether its current location is where it always was) appears on page 30 in Florin's book (1971).

Another view of the Percha bank appearing on page 166 in Looney's book (1968).

This is a photo of the same building taken by me in April 2000.  It is pretty much unchanged in the 30+ years spanning the above photos.
