Artifact
Sir John Bennett Shop, Original Site, London, England, 1929
This photograph shows the Sir John Bennett Watch, Clock and Jewelry Store on its original site at 65 Cheapside, London. The image was taken in 1929, just before the structure was disassembled for shipment to Greenfield Village. Architect Edward L. Cutler reconfigured the structure from five stories to two, to better scale the building with others in the Village.
