The last question was, "Where is This Location?" and there was a guess. It is a view of the Park View Cash Grocery in the center of town.

According to Images of America: Ellington, from the Ellington Historical Society:

"The view of the Park View Cash grocery in the foreground shows the trolley passing by after a snowfall on Sunday, April 7, 1911. For several years, the post office was in the grocery, which stood at the corner of main and Church streets. The grocery was operated by Francis "Frank" Charter, who was also the postmaster. It carried staples such as flour, salt, and sugar. Some housewives could not get to town easily to shop. Early in the week, Marshall Charter, a clerk in the store, drove around to their houses to take orders, which he delivered toward the end of the week."
