Augmented Post on the Montgomery Store

 General Montgomery’s wealth and status may be seen in the commodious late Georgian home he built c. early 1790s, with its second floor ballroom, his outbuildings (including the store, which was readily accessible via a door cut into the side elevation closest, and at least one barn) and land holdings. Similar to the house, the store also had multiple entries, including one facing the street (pictured) and one leading down to the Oliverian Brook, again for easy access for the owner and his customers.  It appears from a number of small purchases of alcohol, made by 6-8 men simultaneously, that they were most likely working in the General's factories and mills, and would have benefited from direct entry to the store.
