[Cornwall, N.Y., Memorial Day Celebration 1920]

[@comanche6943]

This is my hometown Cornwall on Hudson, NY. Do you have any information on who filmed this?
The firehouse, bandstand & war memorial are still standing as well as other structures and the general layout of Main Street.

The bandstand is a replica of the one that used to be there. It’s not quite in the same place either. Some of the buildings are still there too. Dr, Seitz’s building that I think was a electric utility building was in one of the shots.

@@lieslceleste3395 correct the bandstand was rebuilt in the 80’s. After elementary school we would stop in Al’s Market at the bottom of Duncan Ave for a fireball or piece of grape gum finances permitting . Then the long walk up Duncan to Meadow Ave.

@@comanche6943 I had forgotten about that store. I used to deliver newspapers so I’d stop there, village deli, and the store next to the radio station. What was the name of that little store?

@@lieslceleste3395 I’m not sure, I can recall Whitney’s Drug Store before it became the radio station. Barney’s store/deli was up the street and a small diner across the street Bucks Dog House which I believe later became Ashcroft Realty

@@comanche6943 You have a great memory. Yes, it was Whitney’s. I couldn’t remember for the life of me. But the radio station was in a building next door, right next to the bus driveway for the elementary school. WWLE.
I remember Barney’s. It became the village deli after Barney left. And, you and I seem to be the only ones who remember the diner across the street.
I remember Santoros when I was really young. They knocked it down when I was in 3rd grade. They actually brought us out across the street to watch.
