History article written for the GFHS website,SOUTH GRANITE AVENUE The Sno—lsle Library system is conducting a program to collect images from throughout the County to document local history. Granite Falls Historical Society provided 130+ photos, and we are pleased to share some of them here with our Mountain Loop exPress readers. You can browse pictures from Granite Falls and other communities at: htt92[[www.sno— isle.org[cata|og[ghotos . South Granite Avenue has long been the central path through the business district of Granite Falls, and it's interesting to see what's still standing from the early days. Starting on the east side of the street, right at the intersection with Stanley St., one of the earliest photos shows a tavern that most old- timers still refer to as the "Corner Tavern". It changed names multiple times over the years, and during Prohibition was listed on the insurance maps as a place selling soft drinks and cigars, but it was the corner tavern through virtually the entire 20‘h Century. Changing then into a store, then an ice cream parlor, and then into a pet shop, it still stands proudly today, over 110 years old! Note the barber shop next to it, on which the window sign proudly offers “BATHS”. And just to the right stood the Pilchuck Market. Just on the south side of the Pilchuck Market stood Hotel Granite, which also included a popular restaurant. Next to it stood Dodge’s Clothing and jewelry store. , Accession/Object ID: No accession number, Object Name: , Title: "Back in the Day" article, Author: Fred Cruger, Description: History article written for the GFHS website, Date: , OCR Text: SOUTH GRANITE AVENUE The Sno—lsle Library system is conducting a program to collect images from throughout the County to document local history.
