THE BUILDING has changed now. In 2002 the southeast corner of Walnut and Brown streets in Seymour is occupied by an appliance store that has been there for years. The glass windows are gone, replaced by a closed front that extends beyond the grate. The bricks on Walnut Street in the background and on the sidewalk have been covered with paving and cement. But if you stand on Brown Street and look southwest, you still can see the windows in both stories of the building on the west side of Walnut Street and the chimney rising above the slate roof of the house next to it. Similar grates still exist along the Walnut Street side of the building. A LARGER version of the photograph is under "People & Places To Be Identified" in the list of categories that appears when you click on Pictures. Other pictures for which little is known but which capture a part of the past also will appear in this category. Additional information is welcome about any of the pictures and may be sent to the Jackson County Digital Archive Coordinator. AT LEFT here are links to additional information about some of the pictures in the other categories. Additional information will be added to the categories as it is found and as time allows its addition. |
WHO IS SHE? Standing on a grate outside what may be a grocery or candy
store decorated for a Christmas holiday, perhaps around the turn of the
Twentieth Century, the child appears cozy with her hat, scarf, muff, coat
and long stockings. Did she arrive in the wagon behind her or is the
wagon a huckster ready to deliver for the store? Why is she
alone? Her expression, neither happy or sad, is difficult to
read. Her identity and why the photograph was taken may never be
known but it gives us a glimpse into the past.
