Check out these pictures from Michigan!

This photo was taken in 1892 in the town of Munith. It seems like it might have been summertime based on the man not wearing a jacket and the plant. Every store should have a friendly dog to greet people. I like how slow and lazy this looks!

Seibert’s Central Drug Store, located at the northeast corner of South Stephenson Avenue and East Hughitt Street, Iron Mountain. Note the board sidewalks, striped awnings, window displays and the Seibert name outlined with light bulbs. If you zoom in, you can see the sign was lit with tiny light bulbs.

This picture may have been taken prior to the 1890s even. It’s a photograph of the townspeople walking to church.  The town isn’t listed.

 

I don’t know what kind of equipment meteorologists use today, but I can guess it’s probably upgraded from this weather station at the Michigan Agricultural College (MAC), East Lansing, Michigan, taken around 1900. A recording device and several thermometers are seen.

 

The Washington Bennett Home, 659 Ann Arbor Trail in Plymouth. Pierre Bennett is seated in the buggy. Alas, the house has been torn down to make way for a parking lot.
