This image appeared in the Livermore Herald Midwinter Edition of January, 1896.
The McLeod building is to the left.

Taken May 17, 2003.  Dutcher's is the building on the right.  It and the middle building are Livermore Cyclery at the time of this photo.
Both buildings were torn down on September 20, 2004.  Livermore Cyclery is now on East First Street in what was the Kamps Furniture building.
This photo appears on the eLivermore.com postcard.

Similar view to the photo above after the Livermore Cyclery buildings were demolished, and the steel frame of the new buildings was built.  2/4/06

This angle is more in line with the post card photo.  10/22/06
 

McLeod Building, on the North East corner of 1st & Livermore, looking north.  Dutcher's Hardware store is the two story building on the right.  The Farmers Union building (Railroad & Livermore Ave) can just barely be seen on the left (3 upstairs windows with overhang below), just to the right of a barn on the far left.

Before the demolition February 1, 2003.

Just after the demolition.  Taken from the flagpole.
