On Broadway in Aberdeen. Current (2007) site of Windermere Realty. Image includes Malstrom's Shop Rite and sign for Ringo Bingo. Thanks to Terri Middleton for adding: "The part of this building occupied by Grays Harbor Savings and Loan is now [2009] occupied by Chase." Middleton continues: "Broadway, one of Aberdeen's widest streets, was built specifically to ferry workers to the Weatherwax lumber mill at the foot of the street on the Chehalis River and back home again. Market Street, Aberdeen's other wide street, was built for the same reason but for American Mill further up the river. Both mills were in operation in the late 1880's when most of the area was still covered in timber and Aberdeen's population was fewer than 1500."
