Main Street in the 40's

I had a lot of material to weed through since most of the articles from the 40's revolved around the docks and businesses on the water. I did manage to find some stuff about businesses on the main streets but not much information, they were mostly references to the locations.


Hub Furniture Co. – 710 Penna. Ave
Wrecking Corp. of America – Pennington Ave Extension
Brooklyn Apts. – 10th st @ Patapsco ave

Walnut Spring Hotel – Hanover @ Patapsco : stood in front of a portion of the river that was deep enough for boats to bring patrons to the hotel, now it is shallow and full of muck.

Food Market – 1000 block of Patapsco
Trucking Company – 500 block of Patapsco?
Confectionery – 4000 block of Fairhaven ave
Gas Station – Pennington @ Ordance Depot road
Dry Goods Store – 5000 block of Curtis ave
MD Car Wheel Company – 4101 Curtis Ave
Myer J. Schulman Retail Store – 4710 Pennington ave

St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church – 3909 Pennington Ave : Acid smog travels down Pennington ave like a sandstorm, visible but unavoidable. No matter what elevation, the acid smog gets everyone.
