The Doors at Henderson and Cudmore

Peter Rukavina

Back in the days when I was working for Scott Linkletter and Chris Cudmore, partners in The Anne of Green Gables Store, on the concept plan for what became Avonlea, I spent a lot of time up in the offices at Henderson and Cudmore, the venerable clothing store in downtown Charlottetown.

Every time I walked through the front doors, pictured below, I noticed that the door handles weren’t aligned. So one day I asked Brian Cudmore why this was: he told me that the glass in one of the door had been broken at one point, and the company that repaired it put the replacement in upside down. Although H&C is no longer, the doors are still there, emblazoned with the store logo. And one of them is still upside down.
