Missouri Route 66 photographs of a 1980 Spencer storefront

Missouri Route 66 photographs

This building was in the former village of Spencer, Missouri, on Route 66. Most of the businesses were closed at the time of this photograph in 1980. I returned to make a comparative shot in 2001, and found the antique gizmo in front of the store was gone, and the windows were boarded up ... but the five gallon bucket was still at the front door!
