Morris, New York

Looking up North Broad from Main St. If you click on the photo you can see some boys with sleds in front of the W. H. Gardner Inn.

The view above is from the corner of S. Broad and Hargrave Streets

Have a look at the two pages of The Morris Chronicle linked below. In the May article details of the dedication coming up on May 30th, 1872 are given. The June page recounts the events of the day. Town Historian Gertrude Sanderson wrote about the monument also.

I think that I can read Volney J. Hoke on the sign on the building if I vary the brightness and contrast.

Detail of Hoke store from above postcard. The building we now call the Morris Inn was once known as The Gardner House and the sign is in the image above, but not the Inn.

The photograph above does not match the ads below because there were no postcards or utility poles in 1865.

South from a snowmobile trail between County Highway 13 and Upper Church St.

A little later with sun fading.
