The Booth Building stood on the southeast corner of Pine and Broadway Streets. It was built by Drs. William G. and John R. Booth around 1907. At the time this photo was taken, it housed the Cornish School of Music as well as an auto supply business. Nellie C. Cornish founded the school in 1914. It later expanded to include drawing, painting and dance classes. In 1921, Cornish acquired its own building at 710 East Roy Street.
