The Dutch Store on West 111th Street in Chicago's Mount Greenwood neighborhood. (Gone.) Chicago Illinois USA. December 1985.

I took this photo on West 111th Street in Chicago's Mount Greenwood neighborhood, way back in early December of 1985.

One of My favorite stores that I used to love shopping at on West 111th Street during the early to mid 1980's, was this quaint little store known as "The Dutch Store".

This store was owned and operated by a local company known as Vander Villet Imports.

The Dutch Store was a friendly little shop filled with imported candies and goods from Holland. Sometimes the stores mature female manager, would treat the customers to an occasional cup of hot coffee.

I took this photo shortly before the store had closed. The Dutch Store was located on the south side of West 111th Street, near South Spaulding Avenue.
