KENDALL – In this picture from the early 1900s, we get a view of the Nelson Stevens Furniture Store in Kendall.
Some of the visible merchandise includes: mattresses, rocking chairs, a Morris chair, a roll-top desk, coil springs for beds, framed pictures, chinaware, and even rubber boots. The store was illuminated with acetylene gas lights from the ceiling.
