Pound's Taxidermy
3204-30th Avenue 1893
One of the oldest structures on Barnard Avenue, this building was put up for W.C. Pound, a taxidermist and furrier, who operated a workshop and retail outlet at this site for several decades. Over time, the store has been home to restaurants, a book store, a clothing store, and a gift shop. In the 1990's, the building was restored to its former glory. "Mr. WC. Pound, taxidermist, moved last week into his new shop, on Barnard Avenue, where he has much more convenient quarters"
