DIFFERENCES NOTED BETWEEN THE INVENTORY LISTING AND YOUR OBSERVATIONS AND RESEARCH:
Description says it is in front of Everyday Bookshop, which is not at all accurate. Everyday no longer exists, and while it did, it was in the space next door to the storefront shown in the default picture. All that said to demonstrate that businesses should not be used as landmarks: they move and they close up. Let's just say it is on the east side of Church Street, a little over 100 feet north of College Street.
