This monochrome photo postcard depicts Durland's Store, located in Chester, N.Y., at the inspection of Academy Ave. and Main St. known as "The Square." The photo showcases a large, two-storied structure with several visible entrances and a chimney, indicating that it functioned both as a store and warehouse. The building is clad in weathered siding and features a multi-windowed facade. In the foreground, a dirt road and a walkway lead to the storefront, and a standalone water trough, in the center of this intersection with a kerosine streetlamp mounted in it.
