On these 4 corners was the Old Town of Paradise, known in the 1860's as Leonard's Mill. Just north was the mill, hotel and stage stop. To the N.E. was a turpentine distillery. To the east was the school. The Paradise post office was established and a Sunday school organized in 1877. Church was held in the Good Templars Lodge Hall on S.W. corner in 1882 next to a grocery store and doctor's office. First Church built to the S.E. in 1869. Here was a blacksmith and wagon shop and saloon. Old Town waned after it was bypassed by the railroad in 1909.
