Local Photographer Selling J.J. Newberry's Lunch Counter Photo

Print Story | Email Story
Linda Kinsey, editor of the North Adams commemorative booklet, "Voices of North Adams," which celebrated the city's 100th anniversary, announced she is making available for purchase a picture of the former J.J. Newberry's lunch counter. The photo, taken just prior to the counter's closing in 1991, has a definite 1950's appearance, according to Kinsey since the store appearance rarely changed. The photo is presently on display at Moulton's General Store, located in the former Newberry's location, as well as a framed and matted copy for sale at the Appalachian Bean. Copies of the photo, from 5x7's to 16x20's, can be ordered through Kinsey at 114 Maple Street, North Adams, or by calling her at 663-7005.
