No. 38 – Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1914 – Main Street looking west. This photo was taken before Highway 99 was built; the photographer was standing west of the railroad tracks. By 1914 J. H. Bolden was selling general merchandise out of the Spray Building. The next visible business sign is for a restaurant, then The Wallpaper Store and the Cooper Building aka Cottage Grove Hotel Building.

Do you know what type of business was in the Cooper Building before C.A. Bartell’s, Hotel Bartell?
