Turn right onto 4th Ave and proceed downhill into the 4th Ave business district. While the west side includes some original construction, all of the original buildings on the east side of the street were destroyed by various fires, with the last devastating one in 1941. Of note Brown and Hawkins dates from 1907 and is the oldest continually-operated business in Seward, while Urbach’s Clothiers has been in business since 1915. Both shops maintain historical artifacts in addition to their wares.
