Bromley Shoe Repair |
| J.L. Bromley Shoe Rapair was donated to the Pioneer Florida
Museum by Mrs .Pearl Bromley. It was originally located at the
corner of Pasco and 8th Streets in Downtown Dade City. John Lewis
(Jack) Bromley came to Dade City from Kansas in 1913. He was
a gifted shoemaker. After getting his wife Minnie and son Fred
settled in their home on Fort King Road, he opened his shoe repair
business which he operated until poor health closed it's doors
in 1930. At that time the shop was moved to the Fred Bromley
property on Pasadena Road. It remained there until acquired by
the Museum in the summer of 1990. Many area residents will remember
the late Fred Bromley, who operated a watch repair business in
Zephyrhills for 42 years. |
