West Washington Street, Suffolk, VA, 1920s


This post card was mailed in 1922, so the image is of West Washington Street looking east toward Main Street, a little before that time.
Notice that neither the National or American Bank is present. Brewer's Jewelry is there and so is it's wonderful clock. Remember the smell of the interior of Brewers?! The smell of silver (tarnish)! I loved that smell. And the two Mr. Turners?
I like to think that this is the view that my parents knew of Suffolk while they were kids. Yet, many of the buildings are just as I remember them in the 50s and 60s.

Any stories you could add to this picture? Please do!
