• I believe it shows Pine Street in Calumet. After some investigative work this summer, I think I can identify the building in the right foreground as my great great grandfather's (August Hilden) saloon so long as the building next to it is the Valvoja (Finnish newspaper) building, which I think it is. I believe the Valvoja building is still standing and used as apartments today. The August Hilden saloon/residence burned down quite some time ago. - Clint Drake

• This is definately Pine street in Calumet. The large sandstone building on the right was owned by Martha Murphy in the 1980's and destroyed not long after. I remember passing newspapers on my friends Daily Mining Gazette route in the mid-1960's on Pine st. The two buildings, on the right, were connected at the second level so we didn't have to go outside to deliver several newspapers. I remember the very pungent odors of cooking as we walked the corridors with our load of papers.
