 Our walk through time begins at 100 North Woodland Boulevard. When you leave the building turn right onto West New York Avenue. 100 North Woodland - Constructed in 1887, this building was originally Miller's Hardware. In addition to hard- ware, Miller's sold feed and seed. Have a question about steamboats instead of feed and seed'? Miller operated a steamboat office from the rear of the building.  The
building was one of the first brick commercial buildings constructed
after the fire. It has a gabled roof. Charles Miller, an early DeLand
settler, financed it. He operated a dry goods store and served as the
Clyde Line Steamship Company's agent for decades. In 1925, Bert Fish,
attorney and politician, bought the building from Miller for $150,000. 110-120 West New York Avenue - This group of buildings was constructed in 1918 and owned by E. R. Conrad. He shared this building with the Nahm Brothers until they moved to a different building.  Conrad
operated an insurance agency and real estate office from this location.
Like other buildings in the area, the structure has a basic masonry
vernacular style. Parapets surround the tops of the buildings and there
is brick ornamentation. The windows lend somewhat of a recessed
storefront look to the area even though the masonry vernacular is the
stronger of the two. 138 West New York Avenue - This was the location
of the Nahm Brothers Dodge Plymouth dealership.144-148 West New York Avenue - This was the original home of Champs Shoes, now located on Woodland Boulevard.
