This early picture is from north about the railroad track at First and Main looking south.  Capitol would be half way down on the left.
Turner Field in yesteryear.
Turner Field today.  Above left is the right field stone wall-all that remains to prove the ball park ever existed.  Left low looks north to where the left field fence and score board once stood. 
above is the fire station resting in what used to be right field.  Fifth Street runs through the infield.
By poplar request-Westover School as it looks today.  The trade school that currently is housed there is soon to be moved to a new building.  I'm told it will be demolished starting in January 2006..  There is also a desire to demolish Central Elementary since it is going to ruin after being vacated 4-5 years ago.  Union City is big on tearing down the past!
This is an early scene from the City Park.  On this postcard it is refered to as "Central Park".  The card sold for $80+ on E-Bay.
Aycock's Motel at corner of Home and Jackson.  It used to be at the edge of town.  Now a vacant lot as a group intending to build apartments on the land  backed out.
This is the Confederate Monument that has been in the city park facing Church St. all our lives.  At this time it was being dedicated in 1909 and was located on the grounds of the old courthouse shown in the background.
First Christian Church still looks the same as in this
1927 postcard.
The beach at Kentucky Dam park in the 50's.
Corner of College and Ury-site of Central School.  See additional picture of the school below.
First  Obion County Courthouse
in Union City.
The Catholic church was at the NW corner of 5th and Church Streets.
The Davy Crockett Hotel in the 1940's.  The low part of the building was the popular Coffee Shoppe.  Next door was the Alomo Service Station and the large building to the right was the Salant Shirt Factory.
This shows cheatham St west of First before Goodyear and the industrial park filled up the farm land.
Downtown UC in 1949.  The two buildings in the foreground are the American Legion (Teen Town) and the postoffice.
This is the old public high school on the site of Central Elementary before the Carnegie Library was built.  It is from a postcard postmarked 1909.
