The Rockingham Quiz - 01-27-11





This next photo below might be a little tricky but let's see how many know where this business was located and the name.

01-28-11 - OK, There have been a lot of good answers but the right one is: The Seafood Center, at the intersection of East Washington & Lawrence Streets in downtown Rockingham. The true photo is below, before I doctored it for the Quiz - it was taken in 1965.

  1. Was this the place across from Hallum's Furniture in Rockingham? I think A.C. Godwin has his insurance company in that building. - La Wanda

    "This was a SERVICE STATION before it was the SEAFOOD CENTER. My Dad worked there in the early 1930's. May be how he met my Mom, who lived 1/2 block down the hill on No. Lawrence Street, and would walk past the service station on her way to work at the dime store down the block."
