Group of 3 antique original photos of the Lucien Archambault building in West Warwick, Rhode Island and the “New England 5 & 10 Cents Store” which was there the time. Circa 1890s or very early 1900s. We were able to identify the building upon realized that one of the photos is a reversed print. Upon flipping the image via iPhone, “Lucien Archambault & Sons” becomes visible in the window. Research reveals that the building was built by Lucien Archambault in West Warwick in the late 19th century and housed various clothing stores, the Union Hardware Co., a liquor store and various other businesses over the years.
Includes two different views of the storefront with possibly members of the Archambault family or the store’s proprietors posing in front, and a 3/4 view of the entire structure. Period antique albumen photos, not reprints. The photos measure 6.5” x 4.5” and are backed onto 10” x 7.75” mounts. Sone edge wear to mounts, one mount has corner repaired on back, otherwise in very good condition.
