| 説明 | "John Moore, dealer in books and stationery, Ann Arbor, was born in Berkshire county, Mass., in 1824. He received a liberal education, and at the age of 18 removed to Genesee county, N. Y., where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits for about eight years. While a resident of this latter place he married Emily Calkins, and 6 children have been born to them. Mr. Moore is an elder in the Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor. About 1868 he embarked in his present business, and so far has been quite successful."-- Biography in the 1881 History of Washtenaw County, MichiganThe Gregory Block stood directly across Main Street from the Washtenaw County courthouse. The upper floors of the building were occupied by a hotel called the Gregory House. This photograph from 1868 shows the entire facade, with the sign for Moore's bookshop just to the right of the main entrance:quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?rgn1=ic_all;op2=... street;chaperone=S-MOAA-X-BL000823 BL000823;evl=full-image;chaperone=S-MOAA-X-BL000823 BL000823;quality=2;view=entry;subview=detail;cc=moaa;entryid=x-bl000823;viewid=BL000823;start=1;resnum=9(Here is a delightful scene of a WWII Veterans' march in 1945, with the same building in the background: www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=298909162&size=lIn fact, there may be two bookshops here, side by side.
