A real estate broker neighbor gave me a letter that included old photographs and information on our immediate neighborhood. It was written by Betty Junge, who was born in 1927 in what is now his house on the 100 block of 10th Street NE.

Mrs. Junge described our neighborhood back in the 1930s and ’40s and said this building was once Kaufman’s dry goods store and that it “carried everything from school supplies, dishes and such, yard goods, thread and small gift items.”

Interestingly enough, although the entrance is now on 11th Street NE, it has a Constitution Avenue address, meaning that the store entrance, which I assume was where that large window on the corner now is, was considered to be on Constitution.
