These are the stores of Mrs. Christiana Kaye, widow of Charles M Kaye.
That's her confectionary at 116 Pike Street in Bromley and her Notions

The steamer General Pike was charged with distributing relief supplies at the height of the 1884 flood. On reaching Bromley, they reported: “Bromley, a small Kentucky town composed of gardeners, was passed. It is entirely submerged and appeared depopulated.” From the Cincinnati Enquirer, February 18, 1884. |
A list of Bromley merchants as listed in the 1912-12 city directory is here.
