Description
Photograph of West Michigan Avenue, south side of 100 block, Lansing. These small wooden buidings were moved to this location which became the site of the Hotel Olds. The two-story building on the left with the sign reading "Stoves" over the door is the original site of the Lawrence Bakery. To the right can be seen a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, and a shoe shop. The tall buidling in the background is the original Hollister Building. In the center background is the roof of the Elks' Hall.
