Date Range

1925 – 1925

Title

General Store, Post Office, Gas Pump, East Dover

What occurred

This is the center of town in East Dover, Vermont, most likely in the 1920s. Up until the late 1940s, there were no paved roads in the town, which produced nearly impassable roads in the spring "mud season" when frozen roads thawed. As the gasoline pump indicates, cars and trucks were in increasingly wide use. The post office is still in this building nearly a century later.

Location

East Dover, Vermont.
