BELOW: This image above shows the interior of the Dees Grocery Store. Clarence Dees, owner and operator of Dees Grocery, is seen standing at the left. Seated is Bill Clark. Standing at the right is Clyde "Junior" Wagonfield.

The placard on the wall advertises a "50-50 Dance on Friday, March 3 at Darrtown the K of P Hall - Caller: S. Niehoff"

BELOW: The exterior of the Dees Grocery Store appears in this image. Standing at the front entrance of the store is Carole Davish. This photograph was dated "1949."

LEFT: Carole Davish, Carrie Bowling, and Joanne Dees are shown in the 1951 photo.

The three girls are standing in the Dees Grocery parking lot facing (east) toward the Dees store.

Looking west (and across the street from the Dees store) is the Wyckoff grocery store, which would become the Glardon grocery store and later be known as Don's Carry-Out.

Note the gasoline pump in front of the Wyckoff store.

ABOVE: Jean Kelly is shown walking toward the Dees Grocery Store in this 1950's snapshot. Jean was one of Constable Owen Kelly's three daughters.

The Hitching Post tavern appears beyond the column of stones and across the street (State Route 177, Darrtown's main street). The Wyckoff residence (south portion of the Wyckoff Grocery Store) appears at the right.

ABOVE: Delores Browning is shown with a "push" lawn mower in this 1949 photo.

The Brownings lived in the house located immediately north of the Dees Grocery store, in the southeast corner of the Apple and Main street intersection.

The Brownings' barn appears in background of this photo. This structure sat on the south side of Apple Street, just east of Main Street.

Fay Dees reported that she and others really enjoyed the Concord grapes that grew on the Browning's grape arbor that is shown in this photo.
