LOOKING WEST Till Sff MX ft 1: V.HTL Here is a striking and interesting of Jackson street, looking rom Main avenue, as it appeared Just forty years ago. About the only point that can be recognized today is the corner of the Schoen building which projects on the sidewalk line. It wUl be noticed that there is a vacant corner lot on the site of the present Lawless drug store. Previous to 1S70 a wheelwright and blacksmith shop was conducted on this spot by Old Uncle Knickerbocker, and afterwards by his son, Harrison Knickerbocker, who was followed by a man named Varnes. during whose tenancy the old shop was destroyed by fire in the late sixties.

This was one ot the greatest flres in the early history of Hyde Park. It broke out in a little grocery store, kept by a man named Cooper in the rear of the lot and, destroyed all the property "to Main avenue. This left a large vacant lot, which Turvey Fellows, father of Mrs. F. W.

Mason, purchased and sold a portion to John Fellows, father of the late Hon. John H. Fellows. Mr. Fellows was at this time in partnership with Edward Carlton as brickmakers.

and had two brick vards. one on the south side of Luzerne street, east of South Main avenue, and one near the Little Round Woods, on Luzerne street, called at that time "Lewisville." After the disastrous fire a small frame building was built on the corner and a market and general store kept bv Lee McCracken. This also burned down In the sixties, and a boarder, by McCracken as a teamster was fatally burned in the fire. Levi Lindley, also kept this store, and later jr ned the Pierce company on Penn avenut. Afterwards, John M.

Kem merr. later with the Bittenbender companv, ran the store for a short time. In the rear of the store was the Andrew Schoen building, built by Fellows and Carlton where Schoen kept a saloon and amassed some wealth. His sons own the building today and operate a laundry. The adjoining lot was formerly own.

ed bv F. W. Mason, who bought it for Jl.OOO and then sold it to John J. Xoakes for Mr. Xoakes built three stores on the site and sold one to Henry D.

Jones, father of Walter Jones of the Electric City bank: the next store to Ben Reynolds, father of Dr. B. G. Reynolds, and the next to Simon Schoen, the harness maker. There were a few fires in the sixties and seventies which threatened these buildings.

Previous to the days when there were fire extinguishing apparatus in the city Mr. Mason lived in a Fmall house on his lot, when the building on Main avenue was destroyed by Are. His house escaped owing to the DEPOSITORY FOR U. S. POSTAL SAVINGS This bank has been designated a depository for Postal Savings.
