Below is a portion of the 1908 Sanford insurance map for New Castle. This shows
the east side of main street going North on Hwy 55/421. The courthouse is in
the next block on the same side of the street. The Broom factory would have
been on the property behind "The Stumble Inn" in Eminence. The
Eminence Bottling Works was located on the south side of West Broadway behind
a row of houses across the road from about where the coin laundry is now
located. The only place denoted as a Buggy business is listed as Implements
and Buggies. From the top it is the fourth bldg. Whether this was a factory is
hard to tell. During this same time period there were at least two listed as
"Carriage Works" in Eminence. (This description and map
from Marie Winburn in answer to a researchers question regarding the Buggy
Factory in Henry County).
