Portion of downtown Iron Mountain

Riley’s Newsstand and Fugere Brothers, 305, 307, 311 and 313 South Stephenson Avenue, Iron Mountain, ca. 1920-1925: Probably taken in the early to mid-1920s, this photograph shows a number of businesses on the east side of the 300 block as follows: 305, Michael Khoury, confectioner; 307, William Riley, newsstand; 311, Fugere Bros. (Gilbert P. Fugere and Frank X. Fugere), men’s furnishings and shoes; 313, Fugere Bros., men’s furnishings and shoes. Workmen were hanging a new sign atop Riley’s newsstand. The store next to Fugere Bros. has the letters “MILL” visible above the awning and may have been the location of the Miller Agency (Carl G. Miller), dealing in insurance. In 1925 the Miller Agency’s offices were in the First National Bank building. Note the men’s straw hats in the Fugere Bros.’ window. [Gene Derwinski/Dick Ferris]
