A pair of early cars sit on dusty Lake Street in Roscommon, Michigan, around 1915, with a corner drugstore doing double duty as a community hub. The signs advertise drugs, a soda fountain, and even fishing tackle — a reminder that “one-stop shopping” isn’t new.
This was the era when Roscommon was growing around rail service and county business. Roscommon became the county seat in 1875 and later incorporated as a village in 1882, and downtown streets like Lake Street were where residents mixed errands with news and visits.
Do you recognize which drugstore this was — or any memories of Lake Street before it was paved and modernized?
