bird drug ca 1920.jpg 2.2MB 64013: Dating analysis by James T. Faasen, April 2024: "The street is not paved, so the shot was taken before 1918 when Butler street was paved and after 1910 when the telephone exchange was in the old Goshorn shoe shop next to Schaberg's bakery. The telephone exchange is in the Heath building. There are electric street lights, so it is after 1912 but before 1916 if you look at the 1916 Sanborn map of Saugatuck."
