Several historic commercial structures survive in downtown Chester.

They once served as banks, grocery stores, and other general retail purposes.

The dark grey portion was our only bank when I was there. The white portion, I think was a drug store. The unpainted brick building was a grocery store and short-order restaurant called Chester Food Mart during my teenage years. I understand long ago this building contained a movie theater and possibly at a separate time, apartments upstairs.
