Payson Main Street has seen many changes over the years. Since 1903, there is one building on Main Street that has been fairly consistent in its appearance. In 1903, Oren Lewis of Spanish Fork built a beautiful new brick building on the northeast corner of Utah Avenue and Main Street. It was previously the location of a red frame saloon that had burned down a few years before. The Lewis Block building has served the community as a drug store for most of its life on Main Street.  (Complete story with photos taken of the building throughout the years can be found in this week's edition of The Payson Chronicle.)
