Old Time View of South Broad Street - Norwich, NY

An Old Time View on South Broad Street

Utica Saturday Globe, June 1921

Norwich [Chenango County, NY]:  Can you recall the view on South Broad street before the new Turner Building was erected [corner of South Broad and West Main]?  If not, you will be interested in the accompanying picture showing the line of old buildings that were razed to make room for the new, commodious and handsome block.  All of the occupants of the barber shop, the express office and the millinery store here shown are dead.  The barbershop was the location for many years of the "Billy" Smith shoe shop, which many of the older residents will recall. Fred Houghton was proprietor of the barber shop; Daniel E. Comstock was the agent of the express company, and Mrs. DeLong conducted the millinery in the stand occupied by her for so many years.
