Coney Island Avenue, west side, south from Beverly Road, 1929. A James Butler grocery store was located on this corner. The one-story building seems to have a tall cast metal cornice.

If you took a stroll around New York in the early 20th century, eventually you were bound to come upon a store with a green and gold exterior. If you were to go inside, each would be managed in the same way, selling the same groceries and goods. These were the James Butler Stores a name as ubiquitous as Trader Joes at the time.
