When Did It Burn Down?
An inside joke for long-time Shorpy members. Happy Birthday, Shorpy!
I recognized none of this!
This was so unrecognizable I thought perhaps Keene was mislabeled -- but it’s not. Two-fifths of that bank is gone, and the entire hotel. It’s been gone a while because the replacement buildings are quite old too!
[The hotel is indeed gone, except for its grin. - Dave]
Aerial spool
Just to the right of the Cheshire House(.), directly in front of "The Kitchen(.)" there is what looks like a metal spool fastened to a pole, which is in turn fastened to a stone post. Can anyone identify this contraption?
[Appears to represent an apothecary's mortar and pestle to advertise the adjoining drug store. -tterrace]
I see it now. A brilliant deduction on the part of tterrace!
Lost Opportunities #3764
Time was when a person could earn a pretty good living making awnings.
I've always wondered.
Was there a specific reason that periods were used on signage of this era? Or was it just a peculiarity that sign painters always did and never questioned?
