The 1868 Rust's Block in downtown Northampton, Massachusetts. Over the years the building has been home to "P. H. Dewey's saloon, Boudway's Fish Market, John Dewey's cigar store, Brigham and Robbins' confectionary, S. Janes' Fruits, De Paola's Merchant-Tailoring and Georgia Phinney's "Fancy Goods Shop: Art Novelties" as well as a series of jewelry stores from 1926 until 1990.
