Description
A horse and buggy waited at the Sylvester Store and Small Point Post Office about 1910. The girl on the porch was Wilma Sylvester Roberts. Mr. Sylvester opened the store in January 1878 and served as postmaster for a time. This post office was one of several locations used over the years in the Small Point-Ashdale area. It was between the road and the harbor, opposite the Fletcher House. The Bath-Small Point stagecoach stopped here on its run.
The barn burned many years ago. In 2018, the store was the home of Merle and June (McIntire) Gilliam at the bottom of Saw Mill Hill in Small Point.
