A quiet downtown street in Roscommon, Mich. (as labeled on the photo) stretches into the distance, with early cars parked along the curb and a wide-porch building anchoring the corner.
Roscommon grew as a railroad-and-logging town in the late 1800s, and it became the county seat in 1875 — the kind of place where Main Street businesses clustered near the tracks. Today, Roscommon is still the county seat of Roscommon County.

Do you recognize any of these buildings — or know what year this was really taken?
