Historic photo of Derby's Sugar Street shared

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" photo shows the old Sugar Street home of Garrett Smith and Z. Hallock. 
Sugar Street is now known as Roosevelt Drive or Route 34 West. It was called Sugar Street because in the mid-1800s, sugar and other products from the West Indies came into Derby Docks and were transported along this route.
