Respect Your Elders

Respect your elders. Good policy which this time applies to two historic buildings in Shelby. The first being located just north of Main Street on Sixth Ave and the second being at the corner of Dawson Street and Chouteu Ave. For some years now the apartment building off Main Street has been known as the Double J. It just this week has been renamed and repainted as The Chateau. The second apartment building on Dawson Street called the Dye Apartments has had much work done inside and fresh landscaping. Long before becoming the Dye Apartments, that building started out as a railroad restaurant two blocks away and next to the train depot. When the restaurant closed the building was moved and some additions were made including the second floor. This building can be seen next to the depot as early as 1923 in photos.
