Lou’s Market (1959)

December 28, 1959. Black and white photograph of a row-house style store, Lou’s Market; several people are on the front porch of the store; a man in a trench coat looks at a small notepad; another man in a trench coat is at the door of the store; clipping on verso identifies the scene as Lou’s Market at 1427 Mosby Street.

1427 Mechanicsville Turnpike is now an empty lot:
