Description
Formal photograph by E.E. Seiber of h. Gordon Lovell.
John Thomas's son, Henry Gordon Lovell, opened Lovell's Music Store on 47 Main Street East in 1920. The business quickly grew and moved into a larger location at 185 Main Street West in 1927. The store carried sheet music, records, pianos, gramophones, and other musical instruments. H. Gordon, as he was known, once joked that the “only instruments he played were the phonograph and the radio.†However, he had a vast knowledge of all the instruments in stock and was known for providing excellent customer service.
The store moved into a smaller location at 188 Oak Street in 1965. H. Gordon ran the store in the new location with help from his son, Keith, who repaired instruments in the shop. H. Gordon retired in 1981.
In this photo, Lovell is a young man in formal dress (suit and tie). The photo is within and attached to a folder from the photographer.
