Looks like it's at latitude 42.085962N, longitude 71.023417W eg maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&geocode=&time=... judging by the satellite photo, that building is still there.

It is still there. However the Building that photo was taken from is no longer there. It is a parking lot. Still a store in that spot too.

Check it out in MSN live maps Warren Ave and Pleasant. Enter "warren avenue and pleasent st, brockton, ma" into the MSN live maps, go to the birdseye view and you can see a nice shot of the building. It is the one on the right...

Thanks for the map info mfmcdougall and rrsafety, that was fun actually seeing that building as it is today.

My father worked in the shoe industry in Brockton with his father and brothers. They had a factory on Spark St. He recognized this photo as the WL Douglas Shoe Factory, also on Spark St in Brockton. He's pretty sure all the buildings are part of the same factory. Douglas was a mayor of Brockton and governor of Massachusetts in the late 1800's - early 1900's.

Yahoo maps is best for this one: Go to "201 Spark St Brockton MA 02302" and view the satellite image. You'll see the two houses on the left of the photo. Looks like the brown buildings have been torn down, but the grey buildings in the back are now painted white and still stand. View them at MSN Live Maps and click on the "birdseye" option.

Looks like this was taken from the corner of Howard and North Montello Streets in Brockton. There were -- and still are -- railroad tracks out there by those piles and mounds. I used to walk here every day in the summer -- sometimes along the street, sometimes along the tracks -- on my way to and from the Montello Pool, just north of here.

West Bridgewater, Ma. Walnut St., running east-west, uphill to intersection with Manley St., running north-south. Dairy farm looks much the same today as at time of photo.
