633 – 635 – 637 Broadway at the corner of Sprigg
The Southeast Missourian had a story and photo of the demolition of a building at 633 Broadway on Tuesday’s web page. The property has been part of an ongoing controversy for some time. Rather than steal their content, I would encourage you to read it there.
While I was in Cape this fall, I walked Main Street, Water Street and Broadway shooting store fronts to try to compare them with the historical pictures from the 60s. Here are some pictures of the three buildings that made up 633, 635 and 637 Broadway on the southeast corner of Sprigg and Broadway.
The section of the building that was torn down for safety reasons was the part with three windows on the left side.
I always hate to see parts of Cape’s past disappear, but I remember thinking that the building was in sad shape.
Here is a gallery of photos of 633 – 635 and 637 Broadway

Thanks again for the up date on Cape. Sorry to see so much of our wonderful historic town going by the wayside.I think when people are so close to things they often fail to see what a gift they have. jerrette
