1869 Peck & Snyder Observation & Question

Posted By: Hal Lewis

The "store on the corner" with two different doors is indeed the most logical explanation ... especially since we know that by 1886 they owned the whole block!

We know that Peck & Snyder's had to be a pretty big store ... and the addresses are literally "around the corner" from one another.

You could go out one door, walk 30 paces to the corner, turn left and walk 40 paces ... and go back in the other door. That would be just about right for a large sporting goods store with two entrances in those days.

(Not trying to sell skates until the winter time? Ha!)
