No. 30 – Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1910 – Very early view looking west on Main Street at 7th Street. On the left you can see the Burkholder Woods Building, the Phillips Building and The Bank Building, which was recently renovated. On the right the Drug Store sign and Barber post are in front of the Bookmine Building. Across 7th Street is the Woodard Building, Mr. Willison’s Restaurant, Bartel’s Meat Market, Simeral & Vandenberg Building and the Knickerbocker Building. Across 6th Street you can see the Hotel Oregon, a Restaurant and Griffin & Veatch Hardware signs.
If you look closely at the upstairs window in Woodard Building you can see, J. S. Medley, Attorney at Law. Many of the buildings on Main Street had professional office spaces and meeting halls for the many social clubs upstairs. J. S. Medley was a well-known lawyer in the early days of our town. What was one of his official titles in Cottage Grove history?
