Silverwoods on Lake: Dad's Place for Sweaters & Haberdashery

Dad used to buy his clothes at Silverwood's.  There was one location of Silverwood's on Lake Avenue in Pasadena.  I still have a sweater of Dad's that he bought at Silverwoods, a sweater and a tie or two.

The caption to this pic reads, 

Corner view of Silverwood's at Broadway and 6th. Striped awnings cover the sidewalk, ca. 1905. Signs read "F. B. Silverwood, hatter and furnisher", "Home of Silverwood's Office Boy", and "Silverwood's $3.00 hats". Kremer Hardware Co. is next door and the sign on the building in the background reads "Los Angeles Gas & Electric Fixture Mfg. Co." Streetcar electrical lines hover over the street. A street light is on the corner. Source: LAPL
