In the early 1920's this location was the site of the waiting station for the Interurban train. (right)
Shown below in 1928, new buildings had been constructed when 14 Mile was paved and widened. These had been built behind the existing buildings which were then demolished. The new buildings became home to Winter's Drug Store, Clawson Cash Market and the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.
In the 1940's this building housed Sid's Drugs, shown left, a popular drug store and soda fountain.
