Michelle Doherty of Newton Falls, who grew up in Garrettsville, takes a video of the remnants of four large buildings and 13 businesses on Main Street destroyed by a fire Saturday afternoon. Doherty said she remembered there being a “five-and-dime” store in the Buckeye Block building at the corner to the right. The Buckeye Block building was built about 1868. Future presidents William McKinley and James A. Garfield both spoke during meetings in Buckeye Hall on the building’s upper floors.
