[Sept. 2007 update] This photo has been the subject of a number of questions. It was donated to the Historical Society of Harford County by a relative of the woman pictured. The identification of it as Robinson's in Cardiff is written on back of the photo.

In July 2007 I received a phone call from Margaret Coale, only surviving child of Walter G. Coale. She identified the store in the photo as the one her father owned and where she and her siblings worked. She says it is Richardson's Store in Churchville, which became Walter G. Coale's first store. Coale repaired tractors and farm equipment in an outbuilding behind the general store. He moved the profitable farm equipment sales and repair business to its current location across the street (Route 22) from the store. The store property was acquired by Churchville Presbyterian Church (page 37), which has expanded its physical plant in the years since to include a church center, daycare, and school.

In September, 2007 I met David Robinson at the Havre de Grace Duck Fair. He told me that the photo is identified correctly in the book. It was his grandfather's and his father's store, and became part of the Robinson feed mill complex in Cardiff-Delta. David owned the building and recalled for me the bare light bulb so prominent in the photo. He also noted the locations of the doors, and his desk in relation to the door. IN addition to identifying this photo, David also noted that a series of buildings, destroyed in what is still known as the biggest fire in Cardiff-Delta, had been at one time the Bullett Carriage Factory. Readers of my book Images of America: Bel Air may recognize that name. Bullett had a factory on ground where the Aegis building now stands on Hays Street. It, too, burned, while the factory was in its heyday, causing the worst fire in Bel Air's history.

Cullum is the last name of the currrent owners. However, the Cullums are auctioning the property on September 24 and 25, 2005. [Sept. 2007 update: the building is still unsold and unrented.]
