Gunning_Village_Sts_0017 through

01:07
Falmouth looked like in the mid-1900s
01:12
Cam
01:13

01:16
mid 50s and and married Falmouth
01:19

01:27

�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
01:39
so I’ll turn to Cam first to tell us how
01:42
has uh how has Main Street changed over
01:45
the years well surprisingly Barbara it
01:47
really hasn't changed very much
01:50
from the mid-1900s the
01:53
buildings around the village green and
01:55
the center of Falmouth really
01:59
you would recognize them if you
02:01
looked at those postcards they look
02:02
pretty much the same as they do in the
02:05
postcards so the buildings have not
02:07
changed very much some of them have been
02:10
expanded some have been downsized for
02:13
them for
02:15
mostly
02:16
the town is the same
02:18
the town hall was
02:21
in the center of town and it was
02:24
on the Noonan Park site
02:27
that we use today
02:29
and it was
02:32
and behind it was the police station
02:35
and the police station overlooked
02:37
Shiverick’s Pond
#falmouthvillagegreen
#townhall
#pegnoonanpark
#shiverickspond
Gunning_Village_Pnd_0120
through 146
Hunt_Village_Pnd_128 through 135
02:39
and of course Katharine Lee Bates Road
2
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
02:40
wasn't there at that time
02:43
and
02:44
so the Shiverick’s kind of
02:47
really came up behind those buildings
02:49
fairly close
02:52
the story goes that
02:56
Shiverick’s used to freeze over in the
02:58
winter time and they used it to skate on
03:01
like three to five weeks during the
03:03
winter
03:05
and
03:06
there was a policeman named White
03:09
and he was
03:11
quite a big man and he would go out onto
03:13
the pond and stand on the middle
03:16
of the ice and
03:18
deem it safe or not safe to
03:21
to skate on
03:23
and
03:24
one day my husband Barry
03:26
eight or nine years old went out onto
03:29
the pond
03:30
unbeknownst to anyone
03:32
hadn't been checked out
03:34
and
03:35
a policeman coming back from being on
03:37
duty saw him and went down got him off
3
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
03:40
the ice called his dad at the shoe store
03:43
his dad arrived at the police station
03:46
and they
03:47
read the riot act to Barry Beale yes yes
03:50
it was a personal time people took care
03:53
of each other yes and uh I see Nancy you
03:56
certainly were very aware of the
04:00
visibility of the police on Main Street
04:04
yes indeed I was and everyone in town
04:09
kind of knew everyone else and
04:13
I
04:14
um
04:16
when I first
04:17
know when I first learned how to drive
04:21
I learned
04:22
how to drive
04:23
and I was driving very well by the time
04:25
I was 15.
04:27
and one day for some reason I was sent
04:30
to do an errand while
04:34
using the car
04:35
at the age of 15 and I drove out on Main
04:39
Street and
04:41
there was the traffic policeman standing
04:44
as they used to in a circle in the
04:46
middle of the
04:47
Main Street
4
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
04:49
that
04:51
and of course as I
04:53
tootled on by driving my car at 15
04:58
uh the policeman
05:00
was it uh Elmer Wright by any chance now
05:03
Elmer White that was what I thank you
05:06
for reminding me that was it Elmer White
05:08
yelled
05:09
hey what are you doing driving that car
05:12
you're only 15 of course he knew
05:14
exactly how old I was he knew who I was
05:19
yes
05:20
but that was as far as it went I waved
05:23
and smiled and
05:25
yes yes
05:26
and
05:27
so and the high school was right there I
05:30
understand and that was the high school
05:32
you went to
05:33
I did indeed the red wood shingled
05:37
building with the belfry in the top was
05:39
my high school
05:41
we were
05:43
supposed to be the first class to
05:47
graduate from the new high school which
05:49
was being built across Shiverick’s Pond
05:52
which is now the middle school
#lawrenceschool
5
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
05:55
but the truth
05:57
like all buildings it didn't get
05:59
finished in time so we were the last
06:01
class
06:02
to graduate from the old wood shingle
06:05
building on
06:07
right on Main Street and it was
06:11
it was an
06:12
interesting building yes I understand
06:15
there's a plaque on Main Street next to
06:18
a stone that commemorates that that's
06:21
where the old high school was
06:23
and um
06:25
and so Main Street then um
06:28
had had
06:30
markets markets for food shops
06:32
yeah they did there were three markets
06:34
that I remember when I came to town one
06:37
of them was the A&P
06:39
that was in the center of town
06:41
the other was the First National and
06:43
that was across the street from what is
06:46
now Barbo’s but it was W.C. Davis at that
06:49
time it was furniture store
06:52
and the third one was a specialty shop
06:56
it was
06:58
called Ten Acre
#tenacre
6
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
06:59
and it catered to the summer people oh
07:02
yes yeah
07:03
Hollis Lovell owned it
07:05
and he hired a number of high school and
07:08
college students to work summers
07:10
and they have I’m sure
07:12
a lot of happy memories doing that
07:14
um also my memory is of the donut
07:17
machine in the window or in the front I
07:20
can't remember whether it was in the
07:21
window or the front of the store but
07:23
anyway every they wheeled it out every
07:26
uh Saturday
07:27
and it made those you know plain greasy
07:30
donuts
07:32
they put the mixture in it would plop
07:34
the donuts down into the grease they'd
07:36
bob around and turn around when they
07:39
were cooked it would automatically lift
07:41
them out and drain the grease from them
07:43
and then somebody would pick them up
07:45
through the donut holes and put them
07:47
into a bag yummy plain donuts
07:51
greasy yes delicious it sounds like
07:54
just watching this machine must have
07:56
been entertainment for the town yeah
07:59
right line up right
7
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
08:01
and
08:03
entertainment
08:05
makes me think of
08:06
Nancy you remember a movie house on
Main
08:10
Street oh I certainly do I remember both
08:12
of them but the there was a
08:15
um the Elizabeth Theater which was right
#elizabeththeater
Gunning_Village_Sts_0025
08:18
on Main Street and is now the
08:20
location from I believe Maxwells
08:23
department store or
08:25
clothing store
08:27
and
08:29
they ran movies every single day and
08:32
evening
08:34
and I lived right next door to it so I
08:36
always knew what movie was playing and I
08:39
saw many of them but
08:42
they always had a cowboy movie on
08:45
Saturdays
08:47
and
08:48
good first run movies that ran on
08:51
Sundays and Mondays and double features
08:54
on Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
08:57
don't remember what was on Friday but
08:59
always a cowboy movie on Saturday yes
09:02
and do you remember how much
8
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
09:04
admission
09:06
well as a child up till 12
09:10
and actually I got past 12 because I
09:12
wasn't very tall and didn't look 12.
09:15
I paid 10 cents plus 2 cents tax and I
09:20
think the the adult
09:22
um
09:23
charge was under a dollar
09:26
it must have been a place where all the
09:29
children went uh while their parents
09:31
were shopping on me
09:33
I would go shopping at the First
09:35
National and then I would come back and
09:38
say to the ticket lady I’m going to go
09:39
in and check on my children and she'd
09:41
say oh go ahead and tell the usher and
09:44
he'd let you go down talk to the kids
09:46
are you doing okay yeah fine all right
09:48
see you at the end and uh yeah for sure
09:51
it was yes yes yes it seems uh
09:54
that Main Street was just so homey it
09:58
seems at that at that time
10:00
and uh
10:02
of course there was um sometimes
10:04
entertainment even in the businesses how
10:07
about uh
10:09
the place called Harvey’s
#harveyshardware
9
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
10:11
somebody asked me about Harvey’s the
10:13
other day
10:15
we were at a I don't know where we were
10:17
but she said do you remember Harvey’s and
10:19
the animals and I said oh yes
10:22
Harvey had a monkey there he had that
10:24
monkey there all year long and it was
10:26
inside
10:28
and he had a Christmas time for at least
10:31
a couple of years I don't know how long
10:33
it went on but he had reindeer and sheep
10:36
now I can't remember whether they were
10:38
penned inside or whether they were
10:40
penned outside but it was a whole
10:42
different time it was an innocent time
10:44
and people and he used it crowds came
10:47
look at the reindeer it was yes and in
10:50
addition to looking it was a hardware
10:52
store it was a hardware store and Harvey
10:55
Martin owned it and he'd bring some of
10:57
his farm animals in from Hatchville
11:00
right and off and on throughout the year
11:02
but the one I remember the most is the
11:04
reindeer and Christmas yes yes
11:07
and
11:08
Nancy I understand that we had a five and
11:11
dime that you're quite familiar with
10
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
11:14
um yes well it was almost across the
11:18
street from where I lived
11:21
and
11:22
it was called Newberry’s and
#jjnewberrys
Gunning_Village_Sts_0025
11:25
it really did have things that were
11:29
5 and 10 cents um
11:32
if you can imagine it most of them were
11:34
a dollar or under
11:36
and actually when I was a teenager at
11:39
Christmas time
11:42
I actually got a job working there for a
11:45
couple of weeks to earn Christmas money
11:48
which was a treat for me and one of my
11:51
first jobs
11:53
now as I recall five and dimes used to
11:57
have lunch counters too it did have a
12:00
lunch counter and um
12:03
I think that a lot of people would come
12:06
in to have their lunch there are
12:08
merchants who were working on Main
12:11
Street
12:12
and that was consisted of
12:14
maybe a hot dog or something exactly
12:17
they were very
12:20
uh you know lunches under a dollar right
12:24
I see I see
11
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
12:26
can I just tell you about one store that
12:28
was kind of interesting yes yes on the
12:31
corner of Walker
12:33
there were you know where the ice cream
12:35
place is now
12:36
there was a store called the Store of
12:38
Three Wonders
12:39
and if you go to those postcards you'll
12:42
see that store
12:44
and you will see white sheets of paper
12:46
in the window because he used to put the
12:48
sale items
12:49
on the
12:51
white sheets of paper and post them I
12:53
see sort of handwritten signs
12:55
and it the three wonders were “you wonder
12:58
if I have it
13:00
I wonder where it is
13:02
and everybody wonders how I found it”
13:06
and it was kind of a precursor to Job
13:08
Lot I think because he had kind of
13:11
you know the tail end of inventories
13:14
that he had purchased I suspected
13:16
anything you needed in a hurry you could
13:18
probably find there yes yes yeah right
13:21
that that's that's charming then they
13:23
were also um
#storeofthreewonders
12
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
13:26
what did people do about clothing uh
13:29
well there were no malls no no no no
13:32
malls and there were clothing stores
13:34
where you could buy adult clothing
13:37
Malchman’s was mostly women's clothes
13:40
they did have some men but mostly women
13:42
Isaacson’s
13:45
was a clothing store for mostly men's
13:48
clothing
13:49
and Butner’s carried clothing they
13:52
carried
13:53
all kinds of things curtains they were
13:55
more of a department store they had
13:58
collectibles
13:59
but
14:00
a lot of people who wanted to buy
14:02
clothing for their youngsters
14:04
would get the ferry
14:06
in Woods Hole and go over to New Bedford
14:10
and they would purchase their
14:12
maybe school clothing for September yes
14:15
from
14:16
Cherry & Webb
14:18
and the story goes that Mrs. Beale Ruth
14:22
took Barry over one day
14:24
got the ferry went to New Bedford picked
14:27
out school clothing he wasn't feeling so
#ferry
13
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
14:30
great they got back on the ferry to come
14:32
home and by the time he got off he had
14:35
chickenpox and of course two days later
14:38
he was an item in the Enterprise
14:41
you know that he had gotten the
14:42
chickenpox on his his trip to New
14:45
Bedford for school clothing
14:47
I remember making that school that was
14:50
school shopping
14:52
yes
14:54
and perhaps Cherry & Webb was a bit
14:56
more economical indeed it was yes
14:59
and had a greater selection yes yes yes
15:02
that's true
15:04
and um
15:05
and so we have um
15:08
interesting that
15:10
that the stores reflected what people
15:12
needed and what people were doing at the
15:14
time for example the you spoke of a
15:18
linen store that had embroidery
15:21
and
15:22
the kinds of things that women who were
15:24
doing handcrafts
15:26
could go to for supplies exactly and my
15:30
mother was one of their best customers
15:32
because she was never without needlework
14
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
15:36
she
15:36
knitted and crocheted constantly
15:40
had did it so well that she could
15:43
read a book while doing it and
15:47
that so as I say she was Jane Russell’s
15:50
best customer yes yes I remember buying
15:53
my gloves there for when I was married
15:58
and I went in and she had all these
16:00
boxes with gloves in it and then she
16:03
took out one short long medium which one
16:06
do you want
16:07
took them out I got the short ones she
16:09
put them out on the counter
16:11
you know laid them out lovely and I
16:14
purchased my gloves I wore the short
16:16
gloves so that's so interesting because
16:19
there was a time when gloves were
16:22
important items in a woman's wardrobe
16:24
and hats and hats as well right gloves
16:27
and hats you always had to have a pair
16:29
of white gloves
16:31
wear to church yes yes interesting
16:33
interesting and then there was um your
16:37
uh
16:38
in-laws shoe store right at the Beale Shoe
16:42
Store right Granny Beale
16:44
Granny right he was called Granny
#granvillebeale
15
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
16:46
because his name was Granville and
16:48
everybody in town called him Granny
16:50
Beale
16:51
he was on the Board of Trade which is
16:54
now the Chamber of Commerce
16:56
he was
16:57
on the board of the Salvation Army and
16:59
he was quite active in town and
17:02
and in politics yes um he
17:06
is however the shoe store is really
17:08
quite well known for
17:10
the x-ray machine an x-ray machine oh
17:13
yes
17:14
it was uh
17:16
considered really a babysitter of the
17:19
day because people would go into Mrs.
17:22
Weeks’ shop which was next door and send
17:24
their children in to gaze down through
17:27
the x-ray machine to see the bones in
17:29
their feet
17:30
I’m not sure that that would be
17:32
appropriate today no
17:35
uh so that was uh
17:38
the interesting part of that and Nancy
17:40
you have a really interesting story
17:42
about uh Granny yeah yes um yes I
17:47
lived
16
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
17:48
in an old apartment building that is no
17:51
longer there now right behind the shoe
17:54
store
17:56
by the back entrance of the shoe store
17:59
I’m sure you used to have fun
18:01
with the x-ray machine
18:04
I did but it didn't come along until I
18:07
was older it wasn't there when I was a
18:10
young child it was more like when I was
18:12
a teenager but I did use it a lot and
18:15
play with it nevertheless what it
18:18
faceted fascinated me as a teenager so
18:21
yes um so I’m sure that I had my
18:25
good dose of x-ray
18:28
and
18:29
but I
18:30
was
18:32
very fortunate in
18:35
Granny Beale was a very kind and gentle
18:37
and wonderful man and and I would bop in
18:41
and out the back door of the shoe store
18:45
often I bopped in and out of
18:48
many of the Main Street stores because I
18:51
lived right there
18:53
near them or by them or behind them
18:55
right next to them
18:57
and

he
19:04
I
19:06
my mother was a single parent and I my I
19:10
was rough on shoes and so my shoes
19:13
didn't always
19:14
look so good even though she tried to
19:17
keep they always fit
19:19
but they didn't always look pretty
19:22
and
19:22
um
19:24
every
19:25
now and then at least once a year
19:29
um
19:30
we would get a note
19:32
or a message from Granny Beale
19:35
that there was a an old gentleman who
19:39
would like
19:40
me to have a new pair of shoes
19:44
and so I was to come in and choose a
19:46
pair
19:47
and it was always an old kind old
19:51
gentleman
19:52
he might we might have assumed he was
19:55
rich
19:56
or maybe
19:58
that was part of his description but I
20:00
always went in and picked out
18
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
20:03
any pair of shoes in the store that I
20:05
wanted from of course it
20:08
took
20:09
I was out of college before I figured
20:11
out it was Granny Beale who was the kind
20:14
old man no no mysterious benefactor it
20:18
was Granny Beale yeah it was um
20:21
um yes that um
20:24
the people it was more personal once
20:25
it's much more personal the smaller
20:27
population people tend to
20:29
yes
20:31
yes
20:32
and then I um have heard mention of
20:36
an exciting place in town called the
20:38
Smith Surrey Room yeah that was quite
#smithsoldesurreyroom
Gunning_Village_Bldg_0384
20:40
active during the war actually and after
20:42
the war too and we used to go from ‘53 on
20:47
but they he Dan Smith owned it
20:50
and he would have a
20:53
what they called the annual venison
20:57
dinner
20:58
and he would invite all his hunting
21:01
buddies and some dignitaries from the
21:03
town but mostly people from Main Street
21:07
and they would go down there and have a

�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
21:09
night out and enjoy
21:11
their catch 10 more minutes
21:15
so I just remember that and I remember
21:18
the special
21:20
that
21:21
that um
21:23
that
21:24
he they had there and it was baked
21:26
potato
21:27
filet
21:28
mignon
21:30
I’m looking
21:34
Barbara
21:35
yes
21:37
yes
21:38
and a uh
21:39
and canned peas
21:41
and a free drink and an alcoholic drink
21:45
like an alcoholic drink and it was music
21:49
there was lots of music
21:51
uh
21:52
it was townies all showed up so you
21:55
always knew someone yeah it was
21:57
gathering place yes yes yes you're right
22:01
one of the postcards so it's so
22:03
interesting because it's just a plethora
22:06
of signs
20
Gunning_Village_Sts_0032
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
22:08
large small neon painted and
22:12
the um
22:13
a rifle uh showing
22:16
guns for sale right yeah and uh tell us
22:19
so tell us about it well I think that's
22:21
interesting because there was
22:24
it was an Eastman’s block that that gun
22:27
shows up as an advertisement and uh I
22:31
think that there was upstairs there was
22:34
Mr. Harvey who
22:37
did
22:38
have a
22:39
a buy and sell antique guns
22:42
and so that could have been from him or
22:45
it could have been from Eastman who sold
22:48
guns and ammunition
22:51
and it was interesting because there's
22:53
so much signage in that one picture that
22:57
one postcard that you you know there was
23:00
no signage law as there is today yes
23:02
exactly you know and nobody questioned
23:05
you know in fact this
23:07
question the fact that there was a gun
23:09
as an advertisement
23:11
also there was a
23:14
speaking of things that would
23:16
would bring into thought today was there
21
#eastmanshardware
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
23:19
was a restaurant called the Wigwam and
23:22
nobody questioned that at that time yes
23:25
it was a
23:27
a casual a more casual a more innocent
23:30
time yes exactly now and the
23:33
Eastman’s block um
23:36
is isn't there something about
23:39
how they got their supplies well that's
23:41
an interesting thing I was talking to
23:43
Chucky Eastman young Chuck and he was
23:47
telling me that the train brought
23:51
a lot of their supplies and left them at
23:53
the grain mill
23:55
and then people from Eastman’s would go
23:57
up and pick them up from the early 1900s
24:00
to the 50s right that a lot of their
24:02
supplies came in through train right and
24:05
the train would then continue down to
24:08
Woods Hole where they'd unload and then it
24:11
would go on the supplies would go on the
24:13
ferry and go over to the island
24:16
so the train was an important part we
24:18
didn't have the the trucks the
24:21
you know the 16 wheelers or whatever
24:24
they call them that we have today and so
24:27
the train was the way to get supplies to
24:29
the merchants
22
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
24:31
and then the merchants on Main Street
24:35
always had their promotions Nancy I
24:37
think as a child you remember taking
24:40
part in one of those promotions
24:43
on that the Eastman’s Hardware store
24:46
carried
24:48
oh yes um
24:50
there was a
24:52
it was a it was a special day that
24:54
Falmouth used to have to I think to
24:56
promote the businesses all up and down
24:59
Main Street and every business would
25:01
have
25:01
something special to draw people in
25:05
um
25:06
over
25:07
you know from maybe
25:10
uh four to
25:12
seven in in the evening or
25:16
whatever I what I remember is that
25:20
Eastman’s um
25:22
had a
25:24
display in their
25:26
window and
25:28
they had a sign that said that in the
25:31
display there were 20
25:34
mistakes
23
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
25:35
or
25:36
anomalies that
25:38
needed to be found and it was a contest
25:41
and if you
25:42
found them all you or you
25:45
found the most you would get
25:47
ten dollars or twenty dollars I can't it
25:49
might have been 20. okay
25:52
um
25:53
and
25:54
uh so I spent a lot of time right
25:57
writing them all down
25:59
and um I won it you won you won the ten
26:02
dollars I did yes
26:05
and um I think you were also the
26:08
Enterprise picked up on lots of stories
26:10
like that and was reported in the paper
26:14
that
26:15
you won the contest
26:17
I won the contest yes and as a matter of
26:20
fact I found one more than 20.
26:23
I see I see
26:26
it was um an interesting time Main
26:29
Street was a
26:31
pretty busy camp well during the war it
26:34
was a beehive of activity yes
26:37
and uh of course Camp Edwards brought in
24
#campedwards
�Falmouth Public Library – Postcards from Falmouth
Gunning_Hatchville_Miltry_0557
through 0561
26:39
a lot of service people and their
26:40
families
26:41
oh yes and of course we rose to the
26:43
occasion with entertainment for them
26:45
right and it went on quite late into the
26:48
evenings most nights yes but after the
26:51
war it
26:52
Main Street still was the center of
26:54
business and social life
26:56
and
26:57
those stores were owned by mostly local
27:00
people
27:01
and people seemed to know each other
27:04
if they didn't know each other they at
27:06
least knew each other when they passed
27:08
each other on the street yes they
27:10
recognized each other so it was a small
27:14
town still back then yes right and
27:18
things have changed over a period of
27:19
time and we have to adjust I guess yes
27:22
exactly in fact you never went to the
27:24
store without meeting someone you knew
27:26
that's correct
27:27
well I want to thank you so much for
27:29
being here and telling us these stories
27:33
and I want to thank viewers for tuning

Street that are
