"Post Office Book Store in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, 1880's -1890's. Located across the street from my office where the Home State Bank building is today. Home State was not built until 1920 so this was the prior building. Richardson's Dry Goods used to be in this same building. Looking east on Kansas Ave. with Dr. Kocile's house behind the building." -- John Nixon, 9 May 2008.
