    Sir Roger Casement 1864 - 1916, and this photo is 1920. Hmmm...

    There's a Scarborough & co based out of Milford, NH, that would be old enough. They seem to have been a soap company, so this may not be them.

    The post office sign reads "River Junction, FLA", the photo is catalogued "River Junction, Florida" by the NLI, and the text on the back of the photo reads "River Junction, Florida"

    Here's a transcript of a newspaper article on the history of River Junction, Florida:

Brisbane suburb of Virginia, 1952

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Selectively occupied for farm purposes, Virginia became an identified district with the opening of the North Coast railway line in 1888. Four years later the Virginia Brick company was formed, with its quarry and works west of the railway station. A post office was opened in 1898. A small village formed around the railway station, with a Presbyterian church (1911) and a primary school (1920) to the west, and a general store and houses near the junction of Toombul and Sandgate Roads on the other side. A School of Arts (1922) was shared with Northgate at the corner of Scott and Ridge Streets. Although there was local employment at the brick and pipe works, the Northgate railway workshops and the fruit cannery near Banyo, residential development was not forced out to Virginia until the late 1950s. Development included several factories along the railway corridor, which by the late 1990s were being redeveloped for other commercial uses. Source: www.queenslandplaces.com.au/virginia
