This is a Lawrence Eagle Tribune image.

Accession No.

"Banks - Lawrence Trust Co. (1928) 440-450 Essex Street, first appearance of Majestic Bowling on Hampshire St., 1908." The James H. Clifford Company, Gofkauf's Auto and Radio Store, Lawrence Trust Company, The Majestic, and Ida's Beauty Parlor are among the business pictured. Dr. J.R. Sherman's Dental Office is also pictured. "Forbes Block" is inscripted on the buildings. Notice the cobblestone streets, trolley tracks, and old automobiles. Also note the clock; it has the letters for "Trust Company" instead of numbers. It also has the words "Tomorrow Unsettled" under the face of the clock. Perhaps this is a weather description. The Majestic has bowling, pool, billiards, and private alleys for ladies according to its signage. There is a lot across from the Majestic that offers 25 cent parking.
