This picture, circa 1950, was used in an advertisement for the plumbing business of Charles J. Dexter. The building housed his business and his home. In order to accommodate the access to the new Narrowsburg bridge built in 1953, the building was dismantled. The building materials were used to build the house now located at the juncture of Kirk Road and Route 97, across from the Jeff Bank. The road signs seen here on the left stood where the old town well had been. They were removed for the new entrance to the bridge, as well. From the Tusten Historical Society collection.
