I have an address (2143 N Front St) and a photo from maybe 100 years ago of a relative (we think) standing outside a shop that he owned. Is there any resource that I could use to confirm the existence of the shop and the owner? Gopsill's? Thanks. best, Paul Carr

This is what was at that address in 1890. Does that help?
