Hi Astoness...did you manage to find any photos of "Taylors Department Store"? I have been away and the thread seems to have ground to a halt. I will contact Frothie too as he seems to be very knowlegable. Thanks in advance.

Hi Lyn..."Taylors " were a department store...not quite like Grace Brothers,but old fashioned,large wooden stairs and floor walkers
