J. J Newberry Department Store Brought Shoppers to Elkton

Posted on December 16, 2018January 5, 2019 by admin


J. J. Newberry Store in Elkton — This report, which has been prepared for Main Street Renaissance, LLC examines the past of a commercial property in downtown Elkton, 106 E. Main Street. It consists of a brief overview of Elkton’s formative years, an examination of extant records, a timeline, and an analysis of the findings. Located in the heart of the central business district of this ancient colonial town, the parcel is on the south side of Main Street, right where North Street begins its journey toward the fringe of the municipality. Until recently, it was occupied by the J. J. Newberry Company, a retailer that opened the store at this location following a fire on Main Street in 1947. The company operated at this location for over half a century.
