Preserving and Sharing Vernon NY's History

View of Seneca Street Looking West-1906

The photo is from a postcard dated 1906, sent from an Estelle to Flora Van Swall in Oriskany Falls, NY. It was taken in front of the stone store (also in front of the Phister photo store and grocery), looking west. The Vernon United Methodist Church stands in the background. In the foreground several individuals are walking on the sidewalk between a restaurant and clothing store. A horse and buggy proceeds down the middle of the dirt road. Telephone line pole is prominent in the center.
