A street car ride from the station took the passenger in the middle of Erie Street to Meadville. A restaurant was located near the station and many rail workers lived in Linesville. At this time Bunday Lumber Company was a busy sawmill and built most of the present store buildings. Erie Street, the main street, was first paved the full length with brick. Immigrant labor was hired to do the work.
Bricks are still in place under the present street.
