From the book description at Amazon

What was it like to walk through downtown Maryville, Tennessee, in 1920? What would be different from today? What buildings would have lined the streets? How many of them are still standing? What sights, sounds, and smells would have caught the attention of the pedestrian? What neighbors and business people would have been on the sidewalk or in the buildings? What would they have been doing? This book, published by Blount County Friends of the Library, presents some representative highlights of 1920, with information drawn from books, newspapers, maps, interviews, and library files.
