The shop photographed here anchored a pretty busy intersection in one of the neighborhoods within Parkville-Overlea Patch.

Does the shop look familiar to you? Do you know where it was?

This photo was downloaded from the Baltimore County Public Library Legacy Web photo collection and taken in 1926 by The Baltimore Gas & Electric Company.

A little hint?

"The store sold hot foods and made its own syrups and candies," the photo caption on the library site says.

As always, leave your best guess as to the photographed location and your memories of Parkville-Overlea history in the comments. If you have a historic photo of our neighborhood you'd like to share, please email editor Nick Gestido (nick.gestido@patch.com).

It's definitely the corner of Belair Road and Overlea Avenue, looking west across Belair Road. That building housed Della Rosa's restaurant for many memorable years until they relocated somewhere over around White Marsh.

To the left stood the end-of-the-line for the #15 streetcar line until it was removed from service (the last line remaining streetcar line in service in Baltimore, I believe). The Union Trust Bank was across the street, right around where the photo was taken from, and the Baltimore Beltway is to the right a couple of miles or so north on Belair Road. I lived about a mile south of here off Belair Road on Rosemont Avenue. I rode the #15 every day in the 60's while I was going to City College.

I lived about a mile north of here -- just below Putty Hill -- at the nursery.

We have lived in Tennessee for the last 30 years and try to make it up to Maryland a couple of times a year to visit family and friends. Most of our family has moved to the Westminster area, so we don't get to the old neighborhood much any more.
