Postcard number 17 Cottage Grove Main Street circa 1906

No. 17 - Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1906. Main Street looking West - An early view from what is now 7th and Main. On the left there is a Millinery Shop, The Bazaar, Benson’s Pharmacy in the Bank Building and Lurch’s Store. On the right, a drug store, Telegraph Office, laundry, Bartels Meats, Knickerbocker Building, Hotel Oregon and in the distance Griffin Hardware.

Millinery Shops were quite popular in the early days of Cottage Grove, at one time there were three downtown. Millinery isn’t a word that we hear much these days, do you know what it means?
