Village Square - early 1900s
Photo taken between 1904-1914
Help! - This panoramic photo, taken by Jesse and Malline Franklin Photograph Studio in Gowanda, dates from between 1904 (after the Armes Building is constructed) and 1914 (when the roads are paved). It appears to be of a motorcycle rally. Several of the bikes sport flags with the initials BMC, possibly a motorcycle club insignia. We are attempting to find any and all information connected with this photo and the event taking place. Please stop at the Penny Saver/News office at 62 West Main Street., or call Mary at 532-2288.
