DAIRY: There appears to be some disagreement about the location of shops on Main Street back in the day.

Jim Belardia called us to say he has a 1940 Bradford city directory where he looked up the address of the Alpine Dairy.

“It has the Alpine Dairy listed as 50 Main Street which would have been where Fanny Farmer went in where they went out,” Jim said. “On the street listings, they had a listing of vacant for 50 Main Street.”

The directory had a listing of all the offices on second floors of old buildings, too.

The Rose Kreinson store was at 52-54 Main St., with a “whole bunch of offices on the second floor,” Jim said. He read some off to us, including the Democratic headquarters, Premier Vacuum Cleaners and Atlas Insurance.

We used the Bradford Landmark Society’s “Barticle” file, an index of sorts of Era articles through the years, to find out what else has been at 50 Main St.

On July 10, 1929, it was noted that properties at 52 and 54 Main Street and a wooden building at 50 Main Street had been purchased by Louis J. Kreinson from the Rosenberg-Michael estate.

On Nov. 3, 1933, the Alpine Dairy opened at 50 Main St. So it appears the location had been part of Kreinson’s at one time, and later became the dairy.

In 1938 is when the location first housed a financial institution. In December of that year, Producers Bank and Trust Company moved into its new home at Main and Chambers street.

At some point, the building also housed a television and appliance store.

In February of 1975, the building at 50 Main St., which formerly housed Rose E. Kreinson Inc. and more recently Archer’s TV and Appliance Store, is removed by a demolition crew to make way for a construction project of Producers Bank and Trust Company.

And on May 1, 1999, PNC Bank sold the branch offices, including 50 Main St., to County National Bank, which makes it home there today.
