Main Street in Mendocino looking east, c. 1934. Bishop’s General Store can be seen at the far left. The next building to its right is the Remedy Store with its distinctive round sign in front on the street. The buildings on the right, on the south side of Main Street, were owned by the Union Lumber Company, later Boise-Cascade, and were removed over time, the last one in 1961. Note the concrete sidewalks on either side of the unpaved street, and the electric streetlight hanging above the intersection of Main and Kasten Streets. The large cypress trees seen at the end of the view belong to the Kelley House.
