HISTORIC POST CARD OF
MAIN STREET, WASHINGTONVILLE
ADDED TO MOFFAT LIBRARY HISTORICAL COLLECTION
| |
|
|
|
In February, we highlighted this turn-of-the-century postcard of Main Street in Washingtonville, that was recently added to our collection!
The postcard, postmarked February 13, 1911, is addressed to William R. Foote from Clara. We believe Clara could be Clara Foote, who taught at the Washingtonville Academy/Union School District Number 5, which was located in a portion of what is now the Washingtonville All Faiths Cemetery.

The image shows the intersection of East Main and North Street in Washingtonville with the general store of E.J. McLaughlin on the left followed by Huldah Little's Millinery Shop, and the Monell Engine House. On the right is C.H. Wright & Son’s Meat Market, the home of Chauncey Merritt, and bakery of Elmer Hosking.
On the back of the card it reads: “Dear Brother & Sister: How are you - write me a letter next Sunday won't you? We are having genuine spring weather here. We have no school tomorrow and going to a Lincoln dinner, $1 a plate. I did not pay it though - Clara"
