No. 16 - Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1917. Main Street, at the corner of what is now 6th Street and Main, looking East. Knickerbocker Building, The Fair, Bartels Meat Market, Woodward Building [McCoy’s Pharmacy], Bohemia Saloon [Bookmine], tall wooden building at one time was the Imperial Hotel, Billiard Hall, and a Livery Stable on the left. Notice the passenger train across Main Street. On the right you can see Rosewood Meal sign and Benson Drugs.

This view of Main Street shows the time period when cars were starting to be seen alongside the horse and wagon. There is a lot happening in this photo, you can see the Transfer Company wagon making a delivery to Bartel’s Meat Market and ladies crossing the street carrying their packages. Do you know what type of goods The Fair sold in the building that until a few years ago was Britz Jewelers?
