Main Street looking east from Union: This picture could be from around the turn of the century/early 1900s, given the dirt roads and horse and buggy transportation.
The building on the right once housed D. F. Newins, heading east there was another shop or home, and then you get to what becomes Allen’s Pharmacy (Lilly Flanagan’s).
East of that was the Orowoc Hotel (Chase Bank).
