This 6-1/2" x 4-1/2" black and white photograph shows a three-story brick building on a corner at the intersection of two dirt streets. The building has windows on each floor, and covered dock on one side, with two trucks backed up to it. A rail car sits next to the dock, with a few more trucks in front of it. A sign on the front of the building reads "George F. Burt & Co., Fruits, Vegetables" and a sign on the side of the building reads "Stacy Bros Fruit, 1912". The front of the building has two large windows with raised awnings over them. Other brick buildings can be seen around the George F. Burt building, and there are cars parked in the street. Telephone poles are visible in the foreground. "George F. Burt Co." is written on the photograph.
Stacey Bros. Fruit Company, one of the smallest of the half-dozen grocery wholesalers in Lincoln's Haymarket wholesale district, constructed their building at 800 P Street in 1912. Fiske & Meginnis designed this and many of the Haymarket warehouses. George F. Burt & Co., a subsequent occupant, was in the wholesale fruit business. Many of the Haymarket grocery wholesalers roasted and marketed their own brands of coffee. It is fitting that 800 P Street has been home since 1989 of The Mill, the first of several coffee houses in Haymarket.
