Panoramic view #1 from Dean Luce's store. This image is looking northwest over Church Street to the old Methodist Church.

Dean Luce had a clothing store on Main Street, about where the Thrift Shop was located until recently.

Panoramic view #2 from Dean Luce's store. This image is looking northeast toward the harbor. Lane's block is on the right. The empty lot in the center is where the second Crocker harness factory burned down in 1899, and where the Martha's Vineyard National Bank was built in 1905.
