In May of 18 98, J. Monteverde with son James started erection of a building on Randolph street for a grocery." As my friend Larry Cenotto says from his Logans Vol. II", Was that the Monteverde store at the northeasterly corner of Randolph street (once Plaza) and Boston alley we know today? Almost certainly so.

Surviving insurance maps of that day show that the lot was vacant in 1890, and in 1895, and occupies by a frame building in 1898, that same year the Record reported the Monteverdes were building a store.

More over a newspaper item in 1883 tells us that George Allen had sold a "Large lot" at that same corner to Monteverde. Property deeds at the court house must record the conveyance, too.
