Description
This photograph taken around 1915 is of Allan's Potato House in Princeton. Allan's Potato House was located behind the train station on Depot Street. Herbert H. Allan, owner, was listed as a merchant of potatoes and "agricultural implements" in Princeton in the 1909 Maine Register. Note the local potato farmers with their horses and wagons lined up on the ramp of the potato house preparing to offload their potatoes.
