(From The Telegraph files) The photographer who snapped this vintage photo back in 1910 was standing on, or near, the southeast side of the Milford Oval, looking toward the entrance of South Street at right and to Nashua Street on the far left. A note on the back identifies the large building on the corner as The Wadleigh Block, which may have been owned by William and Fannie Wadleigh, whose name graces the town's library today. The businesses housed in the building at the time included J. M. Laws shoe store; S. Anthony, fruit dealer; E. Richardson, barber; George Hatch restaurant; Cheyne Fish Market; the Boston Store; and Ed Bennett, news stand. In the next building was J. B. Heald, jewelry; and E. H. Proctor, druggist. The brick building in background was owned by Emerson and Son.
