Michigan. Beaver Island's Main St.

Beginning of Main St. in front of the public beach across from Holy Cross Hall on Beaver Island. Yes, you are correct. In 1951 the house on the right was owned by Grace Cole, next to it was her brother, Jewell Gillespie's garage/gas station. On the left the 1st house was owned by Willie John Gallagher. Next to it was a Pool Hall and then the Jewell Gillepie home, which ironically was destroyed by fire last month and the family has been looking for pictures of the house. The next house was owned by Tess Connaghan and then her sister and brother in law, Mabel and Mike Cull. And on the far corner is what is now our Historical Museum.
