              This photo was graciously loaned to 
                me by Florence Tate, Town of Warwick Historian and dates to 1874 
                or 1875. It shows the original Burt Store location on the right 
                and another building on the left(where the arrow points) that 
                I have not yet identified. If you can help identify it please 
                email 
                me
              
 
                
                This is a picture of the original Burt 
                store in about 1905. 
              
              I have recently been in contact with 
                some one researching the Burt family and was told that this building 
                was actually the barn on the Burt Homestead and that it was converted 
                into a store. This seems very plausible to me as the appearance 
                of it suggests the look of a barn with an addition to the front. 
                This building was located on the left side of where the Mill Pond 
                driveway is now. It was demolished 
                some time around 1910. An 1823-1826 ledger was rescued from the 
                building and is in the collection of the Warwick Historical Society. 
                
                Stephen Augustus Burt ran a general store business 
                here for 49 years and 8 months.
