Edward E. A. Moore Bakery 68-70 Broadway (map #50)
Edward Erwin Armstrong Moore lived at 34 Filbert Street with his wife Mame (McLaughlin)
and children Howard and Margaret in 1910. The building on the right is his bakery.
The sign at the right is for W.J. Raymond
Rein, a house carpenter. It is on the Krause & Co. building at 66 Broadway. The building on the left is the studio and home of John S. Ripple, a photographer, at number 80. In this later picture, it is occupied by the Sunseri fruit and vegetable market.
Picture from the book Chronicles and Legends of Milton by George Venios: The
Moore Bakery building on the right was originally built in 1880 on the site later
occupied by the Philadelphia & Reading RR passenger station. In 1882, it was
moved across the canal to its present location to make way for the station. It was
originally a grocery, but was changed to a bakery after the move.
The picture below is of Mr. Moore in front of his bakery, courtesy of the Moore family.
