Description

Buildings on south side of Exeter Road, Hampton center, before 1900. The railroad crossing can be seen at right. When the overpass was built these buildings were all moved. The large Shaw Block at left was moved to 471 Lafayette Road, on the corner of High Street, and the Randolph DeLancey house to its right was moved to 294 High Street near Five Corners. The John A. Towle building at far right was moved to 65 Exeter Road. The Shaw Block at this time was home to David O. Leavitt's general store and apothecary. Leavitt first started in business in Hampton in 1865. The sign on the side of the building reads "Dry Goods, Millinery, Boots & Shoes". The sign in front of the DeLancey building advertises ice cream and "cool soda".
