In the 1920s (and through the 1980s), most Astoria neighborhoods had at least one small store conveniently located for nearby residents and workers. Many of these store buildings still stand. Some continue to house businesses while others have since been converted into residences, apartments or studios. Join Rachel Jensen, LCPS's new executive director, for a presentation on the history of Astoria's neighborhood grocery stores.
How many can you identify? Do you have memories or photos you would like to share? Learn about the Secretary of the Interior's recommendations for the preservation and residential conversion of historic storefront buildings. Saturday, April 14th at 2pm LCPS office - 389 12th Street, Astoria |
