THEN & NOW: Dempsey Auto Sales in Great Barrington

The building that housed the Gulf gas station shown above still stands, in a different form. It is now Dempsey Auto Sales on Stockbridge Road, at the intersection with Route 183. A gas station first operated on this site in the 1920s, when it was Seward Doty’s filling station. By 1940 it was Arthur Goodell’s filling station and tourist cabins. By the early 1950s, the site was home to George Zecher’s Linden Tree Gulf gas station and tourist cabins. In the circa 1957 photograph shown above, additional advertising signs promote S&H Green Stamps and a “Life of Riley” TV show contest. In the late 1950s and the 1960s, Harry Billings operated an auto repair business here.

A judge has ruled that Gregory Thayer cannot be retried on a murder charge in the shooting death of his childhood friend Bruce Swierc at a home on Magic Lane in the town of Ulster, even though an appeals court recently tossed his earlier manslaughter conviction. The decision from state Supreme Court Judge Roger McDonough, issued Nov. 10, means the original indictment against Thayer must be dismissed except for a charge of criminal possession of a weapon.

The venerable Replogle company is located not far from Chicago, Ill. They have been in business for close to 100 years. Replogle manufactures enormous library globes on beautiful mahogany stands accented with brass. During the 1980s, more than a decade before I met her, my wife purchased one for her home library in Los Angeles.
