Shelansky’s Dry Goods store left the corner of North Winooski Avenue and North Street by 1958[1], but once again a corner store, this time one with a selection of African dry goods, stocks the shelves at #160. By 1954, Lewis Everitz had taken over both Shelansky’s Dry Goods store and Mr. Shelansky’s old residence above his shop.[2] Although he continued to reside at 264 North Street, Everitz closed the store in 1957.[3] From 1960 to 1967, National Power Tools operated out of the storefront, but by 1964 Everitz had moved out of his house above the store.[4] For the next 17 years, while 160 North Winooski Avenue went through a string of tenants, including an unfinished furniture shop, an office machine retailer and computer outlet, the apartment on the second floor of 264 North Street remained mysteriously vacant.[5] By 1981 a new tenant had moved into the apartment and throughout the 1980s up until today, the unit has been occupied by many individuals.[6] Currently, an African market operated out of the corner store, and the building’s rear addition was made into a separate retail space some time in the past 20 years, and now houses a southern-style restaurant. The building itself remains almost exactly as it appears in the 1931 photograph other than the replacement vinyl sash and the construction of a doorway in the rear wing.

To the left of the frame, #161 has been expanded with a wing out the back of the building that houses additional apartments, but retains it street-front appearance. The siding remains wood clapboards, although the shutters are missing and the original sash has been replaced with vinyl.

Up the street, #165 is in much the same state as its neighbor. An addition out the rear was added on at some time, bringing the total number of apartments in the building up to five. The house sports vinyl siding and some replacement windows, although the original turned porch posts remain, as well as several of the Victorian stained glass sash.
