Old South Chesapeake City


View from the bridge of South Chesapeake City, circa 1951

This is a view of South Chesapeake City from the newly-erected over-head bridge. Let me know how many of these buildings you can find: Bayard House, Ralph Rees’ Granary (gone today), Nichols’ Restaurant (gone), Franklin Hall, Shipwatch Inn, Shine Crawford’s service station (gone), Jumping Jim’s barber shop (moved to North Side in 60s), Rio Theater (gone), Postell’s store, Borger’s store (gone), James Adams’ house on Mt. Nebo, the basin. Can you identify any others?
