Adair County Courthouse 2011-12-01 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy Larry Smith. Larry Smith found this old photo looking from south to north, from the Jamestown Street entrance to 400 Quadrant of the Public Square in Columbia. He notes the prevalence of horse drawn conveyances on the south side, with automobiles seeming sequestered, by choice or by law, on the north side. It was a time when downtown professional people dressed in business suits and any self-respecting male wore a white shirt. Shade trees abound on parts of the square. Smith thinks the event may have been a court day, a day for a hanging or political speaking. He wondered about the vacant lot across the square, the large spire in the upper left.
