Looks like the old moores grocery store on the left Building to the right Used to be a shoe store and Ben franklins Now is north woods inc.

This was Moore's grocery store and the Ben Franklin store. You can see to the right they poured the concrete pad for what would become (as I remember) Hardware Hank and Sears.

Portage, Wisconsin...Ben Franklin is now the Northwoods Banquet Hall & Catering. View looks N/NW with U.S. 51/Wisconsin State Highway 16 seen in the lower left corner of the picture.
