In an effort to promote interest in Solon’s history, The Solon Economist is partnering with local historian Sandy Hansen with a series of historical goodies found within the Solon Public Library’s history collection.
This week, we have a photo of an old store from somewhere in Solon.
“Where was this building located and around what year?” Sandy asks. On the back of the photo is written: “Broadside view of shoe and hat store. Couple standing in front are identified as Anna and Josie Zenishek. Ca. 1905-1910.”
Also, we’re still looking for an answer to last week’s mystery, a nifty little souvenir cup.
Answers may be emailed to [email protected]. Please include your name and any memories of the item and/or the business, and we’ll print them next week along with the next item.
