Title
Square Southeast Woodstock House ca 1868
Description
South east side of Square with Woodstock House and Post Office. This is a blurred closeup of the same buildings as photo ID 37 [105-117 E. Van Buren]
Blossom's Jewelry was established in 1868. [117 E. Van Buren]. The photo could have been taken as late as 1871 just before Bunker Brothers moved into the building after the fire of October 8, 1871 and Blossom's Jewelry moved to 107 E. Van Buren.
The Post Office was located in the Woodstock House [111 E. Van Buren] in 1865. Note the mail cart in the left corner.
Union Printing Office was established 1861 and was succeeded by New Era Printing in 1873 [117 E. Van Buren]. Woodstock House was established in 1857and became Pratt House around 1866. The July 8, 1869 Sentinel did an article on its advertisers which said that Pratt had been under the present propriotorship for the last 3 years. All its fixtures and furnishings were auctioned and sold in 1870.
Roof sign: Drugs & Books
Sentinel Office and Job Printing signs (see photo 34) are not there. The Sentinel office was moved to a stand next to the Post Office in 1858 [Sentinel 3-13-1937 Sec 2 pg 4]
New illegible sign to the left of "Groceries Provisions Drugs & Medicine" sign.
Steeple of the German Lutheran Church on Jefferson St.
Unknown fixture on pillar
The Woodstock House.
This popular house, of which Mr. PATTY is the proprietor, has recently received an addition of some nineteen new rooms in an upward direction, culminating in a very neat and tastily finished observatory, from which may be had a very extensive view, in all directions, of the finest country that lies under the sun. Internally, the arrangements for the inner man are as perfect as the markets can afford, and to our certain knowledge, liberal applications have been made during the past season, to the Chicago market, for luxuries in advance of our sluggish climate. The host and hostess being both of the benevolent turn that delights in the consciousness that their guests are full fed and comfortable, any one may safely confide himself to their hospitality with the assurance that lie will come off in a most excellent state of preservation. Commend US to the tempting Breakfasts, Dinners and Suppers of the PATTY HOUSE, and besides that wo should judge by the smell that they have some very tasteful and kindly cigars.
(November 20, 1856 - Woodstock Sentinel)
