This is the IGA Store in Windham Center, with the telephone office on the right hand side and a gas pump in the yard! Note the neatly clipped hedge and tidy appearance. In the background, to the left, one can see the old water tower, as we used to call it, behind the high school (today’s town hall). A sign in the window advertises whole wheat bread, two for 27 cents. Today the phone office is gone, the store has been rebuilt and is now Corsetti’s, and the hedge has been removed. And the price of bread – well it might be 27 cents a slice! Photo courtesy of Windham Historical Society
