  > > "Photographed in front of Streeter's Store on Washington Street." This was photographed in 1890 ... "Upper Ashuelot: a history of Keene New Hampshire - Business and Industry", (Keene Public Library) pp 540, lists Streeter's as being founded in 1929 on Vernon Street, and moving to Washington Street in 1941.

  Hi - Thanks for all of your info! I think that what this means is that whoever wrote that notation on the back of the photo, meant that it was photographed in front of what was then (sometime after 1941...) Streeter's on Wash. St., not that that store was there in 1890 when the photograph was made. Thanks, BJ at KPL
