 120 North Woodland - After chatting a spell, the menfolk could make deposits, check on accounts or send their wives to do the same. The Volusia County Bank k Trust Company served its customers from this location when it was built in 1909. The building is a testament to the Greek Revival style of architecture, which was popular at the turn of the century. Notable features include a full-length portico, displaying an overhanging pediment supported by Ionic columns and Tuscan pilasters. The side facade offers a dropped cornice that protects the structure with wide eaves and hooded windows on the second story. 118 North Woodland - The Lane Realty k Insurance Company was located here after the building's construction in 1909. Customers could find a house and insure it all in the same day. The actual structure boasts the recessed storefront, which was a common configuration. Noteworthy is a central entrance with sloping windows on each side. Above the awning, the building also has an ongoing cornice interspersed with half pilasters. 116 North Woodland - Built in 1887 as Ford's Clothing Store, customers could shop for the latest in clothing and then wander upstairs for a serious game of billiards in Jim Butts Pool Hall. In the back room was the High Stakes poker game. Players used to station a young man in the pool hall shooting pool and if the local lawman arrived he would bang his pool cue on the floor and the poker players would run. The two-story building is constructed with storefront architectural tones of the mid-nineteenth century. It features a large display window and a formal entry. 112-114 North Woodland - This is the original home of the Reeve and Howard Gift Shop. The store covered two storefronts and catered to the customer that was in search of the perfect gift for a dear loved one or friend. 108 North Woodland - If you didn't like the haircut the week before from the other barber up the street, Clifton's Barber Shop was eager for your new business. Built in 1897, the shop had many a patron drift off to sleep while getting a shave or haircut. 106 North Woodland - The building was constructed in 1897 and later served as the home of Jim Hughes Sporting Goods. No sports enthusiast would be without horseshoes, clubs or rackets as long as Jim Hughes had anything to do with it. |  | ||
