Last week we shared this photo with you:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This 1936 photo is of Casselman’s Garage, which once sat on the northwest corner of Centre and Main Streets where the post office is today.<\/p>\n

Doppler reader David Johns adds these interesting details: “Casselman\u2019s Garage was located at the north corner of Main and Centre Streets. The photo was taken for C.O. Shaw in 1936 to get some tax relief which he thought was too high on all the buildings he owned in Town. Today this location is where our Post Office now stands. Love the old gas pumps and air pumps.”<\/p>\n

Thanks, David!<\/p>\n
