Roof of building in upper left corner of photo says "Henry" and has a circle with an arrow pointing to the number 7.

This is Edwards street in Henry IL. The taller two story building with 3 white window awnings in the bottom lower right of the picture was the Henry Bakery owned and run by Frank and Eugena Stachewicz. They lived upstairs, raised a family and ran the bakery on the main floor. There were three section in the total building, Bakery was in the left third which the top of can be seen in the picture. The shorter building to the left of the building with three window awnings was torn down and made into a parking lot in the 1980's I saw the building coming down.

The building with three large garage doors and the 4 small windows on the adjacent side was Read Brothers International. 1400 N Commercial St, Henry, IL They Sold and serviced International tractors and trucks.
