Hi Larry!
This is a beginning. I took a copy of your old photo with me today
and went looking for the old house. Guess what!? It's still there
with a few changes. I climbed upon a fence,looked pretty silly (!!),
and managed to get the same angle as the old one. The new photo is
placed under "photos" and Stromstad. I do love digital cameras!!!

The correct address is Sodra (South) Bergsgatan 11. I don't know iff
it was earlier or later, but there was another shoe shop (Hellstroms
too) just a few meters away from your shop. This Hellstrom also had a
brother who I believe was a baker. Another Hellstrom wrote the famous
song "Kostervalsen". It's all waiting for you!!
