Michael Boulos’ Water Street store

Sepia streetscape. A three storey building is in the centre of the image. It has three windows on the second, and three windows on the third floor. The main floor has two doors, and a large shop window. Above the main floor entrance a sign reads N 194 Michael. Boulos. N 194. The building is attached to a shorter building on the right side, and on the left side you can see a building on the street behind.

Then numbered 194, and likely changed in the 1950s to its current number, 590 Water Street, St. John’s. The store existed and was operated from the early 1920s until the late 1970s, by Michael, his spouse, and some of their children.
