I know this because Mary Ellen Taylor was the sister of my Great great great grandfather Thomas Taylor. They lived in the shop and her children were born there, according to their birth certificates, so I guess there must have been living quaters. They had at least 4 children there at that time. Would you be able to post a picture of it on the site, not sure if the photo accompanying your piece is of that building, or some other on bold street.
