PRESIDENT.GEN.1Description
Color photograph a house identified as being on the southeast corner of President and Cannon Streets. Address is likely 104 President. Street (front) elevation. Apartment building in the background. "Behold God's Army" spray-painted on front. House is for sale by Fitzhenry Realty. Note on back indicates that the house collapsed and is gone now.
There's no history on this building in HCF's Archives. What is known is that it was located on the southeast corner of President and Cannon Streets, served as rented rooms or apartments, and operated as a corner store for many years, including Cash Carry, Mike's Semi-Self Service, and Tom's Victory Fruit Store. A note written on the back of the photograph indicates that the building collapsed (no date indicated). However, in 1980, the owner requested a variance from the Board of Adjustment to renovate the house, and in 1991 the owner requested a variance to allow for the construction of 6 new dwellings on the site. Therefore, it's assumed that the fall of the building must have been sometime in the 1980s.
