Krooner Building

by KATHRYN BOUGHTON

This image of the Krooner Building on Main Street in Millerton NY was copyrighted by Lorin J. Eggleston, postmaster and merchant, at the turn of the last century. The image dates from circa 1910 and shows the three-story building with its millinery store on the left-hand side and a home supplies store on the right.

Note the display of pails, enamel wear for the kitchen, and children’s wagons on the street. A “Racket Storage” building is adjacent to the Krooner Building—what is that? The road that passes in front of the store is still gravel with paved roads not far in the future. Today the building houses Geary Contemporary and Millerton Wine and Spirits.
