Summary
This old building in the 200 Block of West Potomac Street was then home to the A. Hemp Jr. Meat & Grocery Store and MacKenzie's Ice Cream Parlor in the early 20th Century. The folks posing in front of Hemp's are from left, Charles Bowers, Abe Hemp, unknown. Outside MacKenzie's were Paul MacKenzie, future confectionary owner Betz Mills and his brother Howard. Note the dirt street.
We believe that the photo dates to the early 1900s since the Mills brothers were born in the 1890s.
The building facade was later refurbished and was future home to Roelke & Dixon Grocery Store, Harrington's Shoe Repair Shop and Mill's Confectionary. The building was destroyed by fire in February, 1979.
