Stanleys Store at Wilton Station ME.IX.

Stanleys Store at Wilton Station ME.IX.

Maine Central Railroad passenger train cars form the backdrop for a small crowd of people arriving in motor cars and horse-drawn carriages. They are live-parked at the Wilton Station to greet arriving passengers in front of the R.F. Stanley Store, housed in a large frame building at the right with a broad, welcoming porch. The image depicts a time when motorized transportation would soon supercede horse-drawn. The clothes and automobiles suggest a 1915-1920 time period.
