  1. The J C Penney store in this photo was built in 1930 and began operation in November of that year. I'm curious about the source of the B&W photo. Monroe County History Center? Accession number?

    1. Hello Bill. This photo is taken from the collection of the Monroe county history center. It will be displayed on my upcoming colorized photo show at the center opening on April 4th. I will be giving a talk about it and other photos on April 28th at 5pm. I hope you can come and see the show. Avi
