The Original Stilwill Blacksmith Shop
Blacksmith Building #1  (This building was built by Roswell Boice Stilwill I.  His son, R. B. was 
also a blacksmith in this shop.  It was located on the southeast corner of 24th Avenue and Riley Street 
where the current Jamestown Township office is located.  It faced Riley Street.)
