This is an interior photo of the front room of the King of Prussia Antique Shop, from a post card which dates from the late 40's. The back reads "Early American furniture and glass. NO REPRODUCTIONS! Mrs. L.H. Morrison, Proprietor". The early telepone number was "Norristown 140W".

A photo of the interior of the King of Prussia Antique Shop and Country Store, taken in the early 60's. At that time the Country Store had been in continuous operation since 1750. The Antique Shop was established in 1937 at 812 W. DeKalb Pike, where it stood until the mid-80's, when it was torn down to make room for a gas station.

The historic King of Prussia Inn, dating back to
1709, looked like this in 1935.

A Christmas card from Lillie Armstrong the postmaster. The woman to the left is Jean Supplee who owned the boarding house that was next door to the post office.

This is a photo of the King of Prussia Post Office, taken in 1953. It was located on Jean Supplee's property, at the intersection of route 202 and Gulph Road, just south of Weisbaum's drug store. Jean Suppleee served as Post Mistress, along with Lillian Armstrong, and my grandmother Lucressa Morrison, who was the first. The Post Office seemed to relocate to the Antique Shop, and then back to this little building, probably depending on who was in charge. I have a blueprint dated November 1954, proposing a new post office to be erected behind the antique shop, but it was never built.
