| 8 South Third Street today--the parking lot behind Steiner's Sports |
The present parking lot site for Steiner's was also the site of two storefronts that were demolished for parking in the 1960 's or 70's.
ReplyDeleteThe storefront on the corner of the alley & N3rd was for a Mr. Miller aka "Lake", for his tin shop & business.
Between Miller's tin shop & Steiner's (a fromer super market, Empire Grocery Store) was a clothing shop, N. Smith's.
The structures were a wooden clapboard front, with Mr. Smith & family living above his clothing store.
Also the building across the street, I believe it was the former tea room, recently sold & soon to be a restaurant, was at one time a furniture makers shop up till sometime in the 1950's.
I can still see the men working & smell the wood stains being applied to the pieces.
