The photo taken in 1937, shows the Leattor Funeral Home at 39 W. State St. in Doylestown.
George R. Leattor attended the Doylestown High School and was on the first editorial board of The Torch, the high school yearbook. He graduated in 1918. Circa 1920, this building, originally the Walker house built in 1902, became his funeral home. Numerous renovations were made to the business over the years. The July 9, 1930 issue of the Intelligencer reported of the Leattor Funeral Home, “One of the new building improvements in the central business section of Doylestown” provides “the very latest in a mortician’s profession. The new mortuary is an addition to the already well equipped funeral home located at the corner of West State and Hamilton streets.”
The color photo shows 39 W. State St. today, the site of An Enchanted Florist gift and flower shop.
