Two years after John Kilby's store was built on Store Hill in 1819, Theophilus W. Allan built one of approximately the same dimensions across the street, "in which a full stock of merchandise was carried," notes Rebecca W. Hobart in Dennysville 1786-1986 . . . and Edmunds, too! (p. 54,) "including dry goods, groceries, hardware, drugs, medicines, paints, oils, etc. In the middle 1800's Aaron K. Hobart served and clerk and bookkeeper, followed later by Oscar Chandler, this business was continued until the building and its contents were destroyed by fire on April 19, 1893." Visible beyond the two-story store in the picture is the high roof of the livery stable. Downhill to the far right, is the home of John Allan in which he operated the Riverside Inn, and beside it can be seen the gable of his store building, which was included in the 1860 and 1881 maps of Dennysville. It was sold in 1902 to the Modern Woodmen of America for a hall, and subsequently passed on to the American Legion, until it was acquired was torn down by the Flaherty family in the late 1980's. Across from T.W. Allan's store is a small blacksmith shop operated in the latter half do the 19th century by Lyman K. Gardner. Rebecca Hobart notes (p. 57): "The building was later used as blacksmith shop by Harry Smith, as well. During the years of S.D. Warren's operations in the area, their company office was located in the former shop. Around 1930, Amelia Gardner (Mrs. Ralph) had an ice cream parlor there. . ."
