In 1901, a building stood on the northeast corner of 9th Street and Manvel (Route 66)in downtown Chandler. That building is gone now, and a new brick building was erected in 2001 at this location (822 Manvel). However, the townspeople had the foresight, when rebuilding, to save a momento of the former building. At the corner of the new building, a pillar from the old still remains, along with a steel plate which formerly was the step into the building.
At the corner of 9th and Manvel, the Lincoln County Historical Society placed a marker in the brick road to commemorate this historical brick pacing.
The H & S Theater in downtown Chandler was built in 1926 and still operates seven days a week.
