This week's "Turnback Tuesday" is a photo of the Peterson-Hendee Co. storage warehouse that used to be located on Caroline Street.
It was used to store flour, grain, and animal feed and also served as a mill. The president of the company was one John R. Peterson.
On July 13,1908 there was a fire in one of the nearby apartments that damaged the building, though the warehouse remained mostly intact. The warehouse remained open until 1930.

Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
