Frank Brown, who owns this old store, has recently been renovating it and staining the newer boards to match those already on the building. The store was operated by his family from 1940 until 1985. Before that, it served as a cotton warehouse, dating to the early 1900s. In researching the history of the area, Frank learned that it was actually called Yo(u)nker, instead of “Yonkers” and he’s had the name officially changed by the Department of Transportation.
