this is a reproduced copy of a 2002 iberkshires' story about plumb gallery in williamstown, mass that used to be our neighborhood store where you could get zotz, root beer barrels, alexander the grapes, candy necklaces, pixie sticks, 8 different flavors of ice cream cones...and a feeling of being home somewhere in a large, increasingly impersonal world

some of my sister's and my happiest memories were here

i remember being very angry at the now famous writer jon vankin for a story he did on fanny and anna's store

he looked at me at the college weight room just after he wrote and i remember i had to restrain myself from my anger but at least he LOOKED like he felt a little guilty 😊

the iberkshire's story was contaminated with cryllic so i cleaned it up and present it here

'Generations of Williamstown children knew the clapboarded building at 112 Water St. as Fanny Tash's store. One of them was photographer Nicholas Whitman who, growing up on nearby Hoxsey Street, found the store a prime source of penny candy.

Now Whitman, a noted photographer, and his wife, artist Mary E. Natalizia, have opened a gallery in the former store and part of the adjoining 18th-century house, where their opening exhibit showcases 13 artists. They kept the long, gleaming wooden counter from the old store as a centerpiece for the room where bright and bold paintings hang on white walls, and ceramics inspired by antique botanical prints cluster in the windows. Plum Gallery is the result of not only the pair's creativity, but grueling physical labor as they transformed the space into a bright, airy venue for a range of art. "It's a great old building, and it was for sale forever, said Whitman. Nick did all the restoration, everything except the electrical wiring, plumbing and sheetrocking, said Natalizia. "It's a real team effort. This place was a diamond in the rough, said Whitman. We filled up more than 15 dumpsters, and it did need some jacking, and it needed a lot of siding. It's solid, just not real square, he said. tried to do a really sensitive restoration job, he said. In the former store, the gallery's main space, the bead-board ceiling had, fortunately, never been painted. Sheetrock panels were installed on the walls to screw paintings into. And in the second room, up a step, in the adjoining house, Whitman pulled down the ceiling and found chestnut beams intact, beautiful and rot-resistant bearing the marks of the broad-ax that formed them. All I did was vacuum, scrub and oil them, said Whitman. Whitman said he enjoyed his work on the house, which was part of a mill complex on the Green River, and the 1922 store building. Whitman has a recently-released book on The Porches, the new inn in North Adams across from MASS MoCA. He has also done a book on MASS MoCA, documented the former, and now demolished opera house, and is in the middle of a project on the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield. “It was really interesting to put the camera down and take the place apart, he said. Natalizia, a painter, is on leave from teaching in Pownal, Vt. She said the idea for the gallery grew naturally. out of our interests in art. Most of the people in this show are also friends, she said. This is heartfelt art, she said. It's not just a pretty picture, it's the artists response to the world. It speaks to your heart, and you feel you're tapping into the moment. We do have strong opinions about art, and we thought wouldn't it be nice to give people a place to show? This winter, we just decided that we'd go for it. In one of the front windows is a sculpture of welded copper, the work of Greg Smith of Pownal. His stainless-steel sculpture is on the front lawn. Ceramic floral-derived shapes by Nermin Kura, who is from Turkey and went to the Rhode Island School of Design, is ornamented with designs inspired by calligraphy. "It's so strong, said Natalizia. It's wild stuff. Much of her own work, she said, is based on floral shapes, and often includes fragments of poetry or journal entries. This is very particular artwork, she said of the work in the show. It doesn't take anything for granted. It tells something about how you feel, or tells something about the particular time, or the day. Also on view are drawings and a print by Timothy Hawksworth, who, she said, works only from memory. A collage by Martin Bromirski includes canvas cut and rewoven, she said. She's obsessed with materials.Steel gray and black shapes, sculpture by Makoto Yabe, who has work at RISD, the DeCordova in Lincoln, and  Museum of Fine Art in Boston, seems to prefigure the mourning in the wake of the Sept. 11 loss of life, although they were made beforehand, she said. Whitman's platinum prints in the gallery include woods in North Berkshire and sculptural rock faces, some shot in Labrador, some strongly cubist. They are pleased with the reception so far, and enthusiastic about the endeavor. I love to arrange things said Natalizia. "I saw this work and really loved it. It felt like it was a risk at first, but when we made the decision, it was great. And we had good sales the first week. The opening reception was May 23. Gallery hours are Wednesdays through Sundays 11-5 and by appointment. Telephone is 458-3389; web site www.plumbgallery.com'

• 'Sectional zoning makes some parts of the road commercial and some residential. "All those new places have ruined Ihe beautiful bitterly complained one shopkeeper, a longtime observer of happenings on Water Street, ft's not hard to recognize the antique charm of her grocery store. Walk into Fannie Tash's and you have an urge for penny candy and an ice cream cone. There's plenty of both and lots of old- fashioned "please the customer" good will. The customer is surrounded but not push carts, express lines or unit pricing, but a large room with well-stocked cupboards and shelves of canned goods. Fannie had to buy an eleclric refrigerator once, to replace the ice cooler, but the "honest, no springs" scales and the original cash register, bought in 1922 when the store opened, remain. Times change and the store doesn't do the business it used to. If the supermarkets have lured away some of Fannie's patrons, there are still many loyal townspeople who go to the store because they know they can always count on Fannie Tash. '

'Two centuries of women's history in Williamstown is topic of project

12:00AM / Thursday, March 16, 2000

When Fannie Tash was 11 years old, she started working as assistant in her father, John Tash's, grocery store on Water Street. That was in 1922, and she ran the store for more than 50 years, its candy counter serving as a magnet for generations of Williamstown children. And women in the family of Roxana Freeman Duncett were among the first African-American women to travel to Liberia as teachers in the 19th century, subsequently returning to Troy, N.Y., to work in the first school there for African-American children. These and other women in the work force in Williamstown, through 1953, are the focus of a research project sponsored by the House of Local History and underwritten with a $2,500 grant from the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities. The collaborative grant program is in conjunction with the Bay State Historical Society. 

Titled Becoming Visible: Two Centuries of Women's History in Williamstown,” the project will be presented at the HLH Sunday, March 26, at 2 p.m. Scholar-in-residence Marla Miller, with the assistance of Jill Mudgett, collaborating scholar, examined the lives of women in Williamstown as revealed in records through 1953, focusing on women and work. Miller is assistant professor of history at the UMass-Amherst; Mudgett is a graduate student in the history department. Miller, whose specialties include U.S. women's history and the social history of Colonial America, completed a comprehensive inventory of the historical assets in the village center, a project in 1997-98 initiated by the Historical Commission and funded by the Mass. Historical Commission. In the course of that research, she noted that she found evidence of extensive entrepreneurial activity by women at the turn of the century references to women who were shopkeepers, dressmakers, store managers, peddlers. She worked on a similar project at Historic Deerfield, where she developed a guide to women's history that had been hidden within the manuscript collection because it was overlooked by traditional finding aids. 

Miller earned her Ph.D. in U.S. history in 1997 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where her dissertation was titled My Daily Bread Depends Upon my Labor: Craftswomen, Community and the Marketplace in Rural New England, 1740-1820. Miller also received her M.A. from UNC, and her B.A. in the History of Culture from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1988. Mudgett, a Ph.D. candidate at UMass, holds an M.S. in American and New England studies from the University of Southern Maine, and a B.A. in historic preservation and women's studies from Goucher College. In her scholar's statement, Miller said that in her research, she found colonial gentlewomen who managed the town's most privileged households, freedwomen who migrated to Williamstown in the years following the Civil War, cotton (millworkers) who gambled on upward mobility by abandoning factory work to open their own dressmaking shops, and businesswomen who oversaw the day-to-day operations of stores owned and so known in the historical records by their husbands.

Miller wrote that the materials could potentially continue dismantling longstanding myths about women's participation in the public world of work. Calling Williamstown an extraordinarily well-documented small-town community, Miller wrote that the town affords an unusual opportunity to investigate not only the ways in which women in rural Massachusetts have entered the work force from the Colonial era to the mid-20th century, but also the means by which that activity has been obscured in the documentary record. Pulling together and investigating further the clues and fragments ... yield[s] a picture of women's labor history that will unsettle longstanding beliefs about women, work and business in rural Massachusetts communities, she wrote. HLH curator Nancy Burstein, in the project description, wrote that the scholar-in-residence grant enables the organization to begin the systematic documentation and interpretation of the role of minorities and other under-documented groups in the history of our community. 

Despite the commonly held belief that married women did not enter the work force until the second half of the 20th century, documentary records from Williamstownincluding newspaper clippings, census records, business directories, organizational records, and oral histories” indicate women in the work force far earlier, unsettling longstanding beliefs about the roles of women in rural Massachusetts communities. 

One of the most significant changes in the current approach to history has been an attempt to make it more inclusive. In the past, the lives and contributions of minorities, whether African-American, Native American, immigrant groups or women, have been neglected, giving the appearance of a past inhabited solely by white, protestant males, she wrote. And while academic institutions and large museums have tried to shift their focus to include formerly excluded groups, and to alter the way history is taught, that shift is harder for small, local historical societies without resources. In order to present an accurate picture of a town s past, and to be meaningful and relevant to its entire audience, it is incumbent upon local historical societies to preserve and present history that is inclusive of all elements of the town. 

This week, Burstein said the research is a matter of finding them and pulling them out I am really excited by it. As a feminist myself, I am delighted to learn what we have in the collection about the accomplishments of women in Williamstown at a time when we thought women were just sitting home.'
