Then & Now: Do you know where this is?
We're not playing games when we tell you this building has a varied history. Trinity Cycle appears to have been the original occupant of the wooden building, in the 1890s, with its workforce of 200 turning out 50 bicycles a day. In 1897, the growing company shifted operations to Keene, New Hampshire, with orders backing up during the three weeks it took to relocate machines into a brick factory. The Anthony Screw Co. was among the businesses that later occupied part of the building. By 1916, Moore & Co. was a main occupant. The company, founded by Harry L. Moore, who had an office at 152 Main St., specialized in pharmaceutical products, selling to retailers. The company, its building shown in this week's Then photo, from 1963, later became Moore-Kirk Laboratories. The operation shifted to Connecticut in 1963. A store favored by children moved in, its popularity prompting owners to soon expand the building. See the Nov. 9 Telegram & Gazette, and telegram.com, for the answer.
