Description
This is a view of upper Main Street in Dixfield Village heading west toward Webb River and the Town of Mexico, from around 1910. The brick Harlow Block is on the right and housed the Stanley Hotel and Harlow's Men's Store. John S. Harlow was a very prominent businessman in the woodmills industry that was thriving at this time.
On the left is the F. W. Keene Store that later became the Charles Stanley's Sons store and to the the right is the Isaac Stanley home. This home became known as the Taintor place, and in 1959 was lost to a fire that took the lives of two children. Charles Stanley's Sons Store would later became Holmes Market in the late 1940's.
