|  Can you name the location? Corner of Bank St & Summer St, North Adams Posted: 04/20/2001 Comments... Can't be bank and summer streets. What do the columns on the left belong to? I don't remember anything on bank or summer with this type of column. Posted: 04/22/2001 Can you name the location? I'm sure it was Bank Street. Comments... Posted: 04/24/2001 Comments... Corner of Bank & Summer for sure. The building with the column was originally the Berkshire Hotel. The steeple behind the building is St. John's church. Posted: 04/29/2001 What was the Season? summer Can you name any of the people? Can you name the location? Comments... Posted: 04/30/2001 Comments... If this is, indeed, a picture of the building that stood on the corner of Bank & Summer Sts, with St. John's steeple towering above the wall,in the background, it would have housed Ferris' Barber Shop on the corner followed by A. Mativi Plumbing Shop next to it, on Summer St. However, for various reasons, I do not believe it is that building! 1.) The next building down Bank St, Housing Pat's Lunch, Lopretta's Haberdashery, etc., would have been right up against the left wall in the picture. Then why are there windows in that wall? 2.) It appears to me that there is a billboard, or sign, atop the wall directly in front of the camera. If it is the building on the corner of Bank & Summer Sts.,There would be no vantage point in the immediate area from which to read the "sign". 3.) In order for the picture to be of the aforesaid building, Randy would most likely have had to be standing next to Gazzaniga's Paint & Wallpaper. I don't remember any columns like the one in the picture, near that entrance. The key to the site of this picture, is the "sign" atop the wall! It has to be advertising something, and it has to be visable to the public, perhaps in particular, TOURISTS???? Let's see what we have----a free-standing building with lots of windows and a "sign". My conclusions? I would say that it is either a hotel, or an apartment building with a billboard atop it. Posted: 03/30/2002 Can you name the location? Bank & Summer. The columns were bt Gazzaniga's Paint store! Posted: 03/30/2002 Can you name the location? Definitely Gazzinega]s paint store/ it had the columns.... Posted: 04/01/2002 Comments... old richmond hotel being torn down? Posted: 10/19/2002 Comments... That's the old Richmond Hotel.At the time it was the Phoenix Hotel. We had family friends staying there about 6 months before it was torn down and I was in that building many times. The columns are from Gazzaniga's Store. Posted: 05/19/2006 |
