Jakob Kollmann's store in Ceske Budejovice
Grandpa Jakob Kollmann was from Ceske Budejovice. He was a light machinery mechanic, and had a little shop where he sold clocks, barometers and all sorts of devices like that. His store was right on the town square, underneath a beautiful arcade. In this photograph, you can see my great-grandfather's store, the second light-colored building from the left - the sign says Jakob Kollmann. Back then there were even streetcars driving through the square.
