The building across the street was once the the Merchants and Farmers Bank building. It still is the tallest building on main street. Not much has changed since this picture was taken. They both look the same other than all the people and the drug store sign. Back then the streets were covered in people and roanoke was booming at that time. My prediction for the future is when 22 bypass comes to play, downtown roanoke will loose all the business due to less traffic going through on a daily basis. Just like it did when 431 bypass did in the 70’s.
