Description
William Graffam is standing in front of his store which was in Dunstan area near the current location of the Soldiers' Monument. This store was started around 1888. In 1901 he raised the store and built the loading platform.
In the back of the store in the 1920s was a cast iron sink with a common dipping ladle that people could use for a cool drink of water. Also during the 1920s there was a peanut roaster in the middle of the store. The store was sold in 1926 to Asa Douglass.
