Bossey's General Store Served Three Village Area 12 Years

On Monday we showed you an historical photo from the Three Village Historical Society and asked you to guess where it was taken.

According to the historical society, the photo was taken in 1954 and shows Steve Bossey's general store that he ran from this location - on the south side of Route 25A - from 1946 to 1958.

"After he closed, Richard and Gloria Woreth operated a furniture store here," a society representative explained in an email. "Don Hathaway was the baker next store. The building was constructed in the late 19th century and had operated as a tavern or store throughout its history."

In 1970 (after merging with Tinker Bank) Marine Midland Bank bought the property and demolished it for a parking lot. 

Did you get it right? Do you have any memories of any of the businesses at this location? Share them in the comments below.
