In
the 1920s the post office
was in the Ackerly house,
today the Adams house. The
post mistress at that time
was Mrs. Vernooy -- but
she and the post office
soon moved up to a much
larger (two storey) post
office situated just before
the juncture where the Lew
Beach road sends an offshoot
up in the direction of the
Ames/Sokolow place. That
post office, which was the
post office all during the
1930s and 1940s, had a gas
pump (Socony Vacuum), sold
lots of stuff including
Tootsie Rolls, Black Jack
gum and corncob pipes, and
was reached up a monumental
flagstone staircase, descending
left and right from a big
flagstone porch like the
approach to a French chateau. |
