Edwin J. Cummings Family and Steam Coal House




"CUMMINGS COAL"


Here is the location in a photo dated 8/15/1894. The building seems to be in the same place, but altered and with a second story. Gone are all the buildings on the block surrounding it.

  • The picture does not match the building.

    Regardless is a beautiful building dating back to 1840.
