This picture was taken of a turkey flock on Main Street from the Grantsville end of Little Kanawha bridge when
Grantsville
still had dirt streets.
Notice the lack of automobiles. The house in
the
center of the picture is in the location of the current US Post Office. According to writing on the back of the photo, that house
was the Hardman house and standing in the side yard are Susan and Eva Hardman.
The building on the corner above it was
at one time a grocery store run by Claire and Hill Smith, and later on was a restaurant called "The Greasy Spoon."
