Hardware Store Interior, Possibly 287 King Street

Description

Digital reproduction of a photograph of a man and woman standing in the interior of a hardware store. The man is likely Gibbes Shaffer, who operated Shaffer Hardware Co., which opened at 287 King Street in late 1915 and later moved to 248 King in 1919. The photograph shows the store's decorative interiors and an array of hardware and other items displayed on walls, on shelves, and in glass cases.
