Description
View of houses on a dirt road. One girl is seated and another young girl in a dress stands next to her in front of a house, other children are lined up nearby. Next door is "Thompson's The Sixpence," a gathering place founded by the Thompson family. A sign identifies Lake Street on the corner. A dog lays on the ground between the two buildings, Royal Crown Cola and Sun Crest Beverage advertising signs hang outside of the Sixpence building. These buildings were demolished by the city in 1962 to make way for the housing authority buildings between Church and Lake Streets.
