Albert A. Cheney and George H. Clapp announced their partnership in March, 1869 after the dissolution of Felton & Cheney. Cheney & Clapp were booksellers and stationers, and published stereo views. Later that year, fire destroyed their store: "booksellers and stationers, occupied the last store in this block, on the corner of Elliot and Main-sts. The goods on their first floor were nearly all carried out, but the paper stock in the basement was mostly destroyed. The flames were subdued at this point, leaving the lower portion of the south wall standing." In September, 1885 Albert A. Cheney retired and the firm was succeeded by Clapp & Jones.
