Yes, and I believe the guy driving the tractor in that series of photos, was some guy you may have heard of, named Benny Jacobsen.

The Shell gas station must have been new at this time, I would guess this is 1936 -1940 just from the vehicles. Note the SOCONY/Texaco pump still in front of Gage's.

The town looks pretty prosperous. Love the photo!

Patrick house on Patrick Hill (now the empty field on the south side of rt. 23, but the road originally was on the other side before 1915).

1965. They had a fire fighting foam demonstration but the open windows allowed the wind to blow the foam back out and it burnt down, but had already been stripped of it's interior, etc.

Susan Gaughan Rowe
Where was this house?
