Then and Now: Answer Edition

We reveal the answer to last week's photo challenge.

Another week, another impressive showing of knowledge from Phoenixville's loyal Then and Now readers. The first one to correctly identify the location of last week's photo was Ed Sabbi. Congrats Ed!

Below, courtesy of the fine folks at the Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area, is some context:

The building at 59-61 N. Main St was originally a general merchandise business owned by L. B. Kaler and M. E. Wagoner. The store was constructed circa 1877 and has served as a commercial building ever since. The ‘Then’ photograph is circa 1923–25.
