Leeds Ice Cream Company, Vernon and Lowell Streets, circa 1930

Title: Leeds Ice Cream Company, Vernon and Lowell Streets, circa 1930
Description: "Leeds Ice Cream Company was located on the northwest corner of Vernon and Lowell Streets beginning in the early 1930s, soon after the road was widened with the 'permission' of the County Commissioners, and the Town's first traffic signal was installed at the intersection in 1928. The ice cream stand was built on property once occupied by John Sweetser and later by Dr. Robert Cushman. Leeds Ice Cream Company later became Kydd's Ice Cream, stand, a popular stop for many in the 1950s and 1960s. The site is now a gas station."; Image from the Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department annual calendar, 2016; Photo courtesy of the Wakefield Historical Society.
