Since it's winter now, I thought these might be appropriate. Here are 2 postcard shots of a Feb. 1920 snow storm in Bloomsbury. The photos are of lower Church Street, taken from the vicinity of the end of the iron bridge by an unknown photographer.

Craig I just noticed something here. It appears in the bottom shot that in what was Hyndshaw's store was a Dr's office. OR are my eyes really failing me. Anyone know anything about this?
ReplyDeleteI see with Jerry's help it says Os Stamets..........Meagan?
ReplyDeleteLinda, reading the original postcard with a good magnifying glass, the sign reads "O B Stamets, Confectionery" - a candy shop.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The vertical sign on the right corner post of the front of that building reads "Ice Cream & Sodas". The word "Soda" is also visible on the upper part of the window to the right of those signs. I can't make out what is at the top of the window to the left of it. The circle at the top of the gas pump on the left side of the street reads "Standard Motor Gasoline".
ReplyDeleteThanks Craig. Meagan where are your two cents. I believe this is her family.
ReplyDeleteThats not my great grandparents candy shoppe they weren't even married yet :)
ReplyDeleteIf you zoom in it says "OS STAMETS"
