Does anyone know where i could find early pictures of jamestown ny?north main st and second st?

Question

a friend of mine purchased the old chautauqua music store and all the buildings all the way down to first st(potters alley)he is opening a restaurant and would like early pictures of the building to hang in the restaurant.

Answer 1

they could go that way or play up the local celebs.  Jamestown has had Lucille Ball and 10,000 maniacs.  Thats pretty cool

Answer 2

The local historical society should have photos and city hall or the county court house probably has copies of an old plat map.
