With roads mere muddy tracks or non-existent, it was molasses in barrels. These general stores also sold work clothes, boots, easier doing business by boat. shoes, tobacco and candy and often housed the local post office. Close to creek front and Peconic Bay were shipyards and warehouses, Increased ownership of cars and trucks enabled Southold consumers and very early, a custom house and port collector at the head of Town to travel to get what they needed.

MANY NAMES ON FRONT STREET: Before 1910 this familiar building was the private home of Samuel Moore and his family. Later it became an elegant restaurant housing Steve’s Vienna Restaurant and a small hotel above. At Steve’s, tuxedoed waiters served celebrities who motored out from Manhattan. In 1947, it became the Hotel Greenport. Later it was Helen’s Hotel and Restaurant, more commonly known as Helen’s Bar and Grill. Now the Rhumb Line, it continues to serve the people of the North Fork as a gathering place. 6 ———————————— The Peconic Bay Shopper • • March 2014 ————————————————

JOHNSON’S STORE IN NEW SUFFOLK, where the restaurant Legends is now located. This photograph was taken by Charles Meredith in 1946. George Frederick Hummel, whose family came to Southold in 1835 from Germany, wrote several novels about Southold which he called Norwold. In one of the books, titled Heritage, Hummel mentions many early businesses. It was customary then to add store fronts to residences. If one looks closely at many of the older buildings it is possible to see they were once homes.
