BARTOW'S GENERAL STORE

THIS OLD STORE WAS LOCATED ON THE NORTH EAST CORNER OF BELMAR BLVD. AND
ALLENWOOD RD. CADDY CORNER FROM THE CLARENCE HALL'S STORE.

IN THE MANASQUAN NEWSPAPER IN 1879 THERE WAS THIS STORY, " MR. W.H. SHAFTO
HAS ADDED MUCH TO THE APPEARANCE TO THIS PLACE BY PUTTING A COAT OF PAINT ON
HIS STORE OCCUPIED BY CHAS. E. BARTOW."

IN 1880 IN THE SAME PAPER WAS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
"WE LEARN THAT MR. CHARLES E. BARTOW HAS RECENTLY PURCHASED THE STORE HOUSE
AT HOPEVILLE (GLENDOLA) OCCUPIED BY HIM FOR SOMETIME IN THE PAST.

IN THE 1950s THE STORE WAS RUN BY THE MITCHELL FAMILY AND SOON WAS TORN DOWN.
