Summary

This building on the square corner, which many of us remember as S.& N. Katz jewelers was an early post office for Brunswick. Judging from the photo style, we believe it dates to the early 20th century between 1900-1910. It was later a grocery store before it became Katz.

According to Jody Brumage, a copy of a Frederick News article from 1927 stated in that year the Post Office was moving to the "building nearly completed by Dr. J.G.F. Smith on South Maple Avenue." The Brunswick post office later moved across from the YMCA before the current location opened in 1958.

The small building next store operated a soda fountain, which was later purchased in 1914 by Ed and Luther B. Darr and became Darr's Confectionary.
