View of the Taylor and Price Store on the Northwest corner of Main Street and Winchester Avenue in Moorefield. It was built around 1860, and torn down July 1959. 'This building was built before the war between the states, by Mr. Alfred Taylor. Mr. Taylor had a small tannery back of this building on the bank of the fork which ran back of there then. Many firms have done business in this building during the years. In 1876 a news paper was being published on the second floor of this building, called the Courier and Advertiser and published by Mr. Samuel D. Gordon. In the picture the man with the frock-tail coat standing on the platform is Mr. Alfred Taylor who built the building. I am told this picture was taken about 1880 The man at the window was Mr. R. C. Price. The Friddles have had a barbershop in one room of this building for over fifty five years. At various times the building has housed jewelry stores, millinery stores, groceries, clothing stores, hardware stores, etc.'
