I went around the site and collected other pictures, as well.
Here is the interior link to Luther's Store:

We saw "Luther's Four Corners" in Swansea. Maybe this used to be the building there.
Thanks for the find, Harry! :smile:

Thanks Kat. I believe John Morse said he stopped at Luthers on his Wednesday trip over to Swansea.

The Luther Store is still there today. It's open as a museum on Sundays in July and August from 2 to 5 p.m.

There's another link on the left side of that page that takes you to a modern photo of the store.

Thanks.
I wasn't sure if *Luther's Four Corners* was the same as this Luther's Store, tho I saw the pictures.
Do you know?
I saw this in the dark and am not sure exactly what I was looking at. :smile:

Hey Har, I wonder if they had a phone?

The Luther Store is at Luther Corners, the intersection of Old Warren Road and Pierce (Or Pearse) Road. I used to live on Maple Avenue on the opposite side of Route 6, so I'm a little familiar with the area.

This map was posted by Susan in the "Jeffrey's Theory" thread with regard to the location of another farm occupied by Mr. Eddy. You can see the larger version of the map at that thread.
