No. 20 - Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1917. Looking East at Main and 5th Street – On the left, in the first block, you can see the Arcade Theater, it moved to this location in 1913, the next two buildings still stand today, then the Stewart Porter Building which at one time was the Crawford Hotel and the Hotel Oregon. In the next block, the Knickerbocker Building, Bartels Meats and the Woodward Building aka McCoy’s Pharmacy building. On the right you see part of the Lurch’s Store sign, then in the first block, the Hemenway Building, Lawson Building, Elite Confectionary, Grable Harness & Shoe Shop, First National Bank of Cottage Grove Building built in 1911. In the next block you see, The Bank Building, recently renovated, built in 1904.
This is another great view of early Main Street. Transportation was in transition from horse and wagon to automobiles. How many forms of transportation do you see in this photograph?
The two buildings on the left are wooden and still stand today, what businesses are in the three storefronts now?
