Date: 07/22/14 10:26 Re: A long time ago Author: engine3420 That looks like a buggy in the garage or barn….I believe it's older than 1920…..
Chris Date: 07/22/14 11:31 Re: A long time ago Author: tomstp I first thought the picture was made in the teens but looking at the length of the cars it seemed to me to be in the 20's. That is why I said 1920's.

Here's a postcard showing a northern view from Eaton & Blewett's store.
