Reception Room at Store: This view is of the reception room of R. H. Coombs & Son's (Robert Hudson Coombs and his son Charles R.) furniture store at 70-72 Main Street in Belfast. The store featured cameras and photographic supplies, drapery and upholstery fabrics as well as the furniture. Funeral and embalming services were available as well as taxidermy services. In this view one can see a billiards table, a piano as well as examples of the taxidermy services (the white-tailed deer, a red fox atop the piano and a pronghorn antelope above the billiards table). Also note that the hop has been retro-fitted with electrical light fixtures..
