South View of Bohemia Avenue, circa 1920

This is a circa 1920 view of Bohemia Avenue. At far right is a sign reading “MEAT,” indicating that the building is Hager’s Butcher Shop. Next to that is the Victorian Lady, which still stands in its stately beauty. The house next to it still stands and still has the same type of chimney. At left are some old cars, parked next to what is now the Inn at the Canal. In the 20s the building was owned by Ralph Rees, who had a car dealership near that location. Mr. Rees also sold gasoline there (note the dome of the gas pump just visible above the car). You can see, also, how different the street and sidewalks were in those times.
