Our history in pictures: Down at the Avon

The Avon Hotel is now a parking lot on Hudson Avenue. Originally named the Alexandra Hotel, the hotel was built in 1907 for E. Toombs. According to museum volunteer Ian Tait, the mid-1960s Anglia, Mercury and Chevy II vehicles date this archival photograph. Betty’s Beauty Bar could be found in the phone books then too!
