This faded street photo shows a small downtown block in Linwood, Michigan — with a brick storefront, big display windows and canvas awnings shading the sidewalk. The handwritten caption at the bottom reads “Street Scene, Linwood, Mich.” and the lower-left corner is marked “Hasson Photo.”
Zooming in, the awning lettering appears to advertise S. J. Fronczak and “general merchandise,” with another sign that looks like it mentions a state bank (not fully legible). Linwood began as “Terry’s Station,” a depot stop that later took the name Linwood — tied to its location on a township line and the area’s heavy woods.
Do you recognize this building, the corner, or any of the businesses that once lined Linwood’s main drag?
