The Triple X store, at the corner of Brainard Place and Downtown Main Street, sold automobile parts and other items. Ken Burkamp took this photo about 1959. If you look closely you'll see Hartford Gas Company just beyond the 1956 Ford. Beyond the store and vacant lot where once the Park Theatre stood you can see the ivy-covered turret of the Salvation Army Citadel. Beyond the Citadel is the Farr Building where at the time BD Pearl had his business.
