What's also interesting is the Jasper W. Stone sign in the background, as though Jasper (aka quartz) was born to be a jeweler and nothing else (well maybe an optician)

Jasper W Stone was located at 45 Main Street in Charlestown. Frank Roman provided produce to the Navy Yard and had a farm in Wilmington. It looks like it would be between Henley and Winthrop Streets. Doesn't appear any of the buildings still exist today.

Thanks for playing, folks! This photo was taken in Charlestown on January 19, 1900 and shows the east side of Maine Street at the north corner of Henley. For more photos of Charlestown, you can visit this link: https://cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncateg...
We'll have more coming soon!
It was spelled Maine Street back then?
