By 1908 the retail commercial strip of Broadway was thriving (yellow). Hydroelectric power from the river was being employed at two mills (red). Adjacent were associated manufacturing buildings (black), while residences were clustered nearby (grey). There was a school and one church (pink). By 1948, electricity generation had replaced the mills and the manufacturing began to move elsewhere. The commercial strip suffered, and small industries moved into some of the buildings. Today the school is gone, the church is a flower shop, and most of the businesses have moved to strip malls. No manufacturing exists, and no one uses power from the river.
