This photograph shows the Alexander Taswell Danforth Grocery Store in Village 
Springs, Alabama, circa 1900-1917. The sign on the window reads “A. T. Danforth 
Fancy Groceries.” The exact date of the photograph is unknown at this time. It 
is known that a tornado destroyed the Danforth Store on May 27, 1917 along with 
most other structures in the small community of Village Springs. Based on old 
maps of the community, it is believed the Danforth Grocery building was located 
on the east side of Railroad Street (Birmingham to Oneonta Highway)and the L & 
N Railroad tracks. Note that a railroad boxcar is shown to the right side of 
the picture and a railroad work cart can be seen to the left side. According to 
Elaine Clements Gardner, a granddaughter of Alexander and Mary Danforth, the 
gentlemen in the suit coat is Alexander and his wife, Mrs. Mary Anna Mills 
Danforth, is shown in the long skirt.  The other persons are unknown at this 
time. Photograph courtesy of Elaine Clements Gardner, Chester, VA.
