Description
Ehlen & Grote Company Block in Orange, California, 1909. Image shows the south side of Glassell Street with facades of the buildings with the F.E. Hallman & Co. Dry Goods store (128 South Glassell) and Ehlen & Grote Company (108-126 South Glassell). The street is unpaved, streetcar tracks visible running down the center of the street, and a bicycle and an automobile are parked along the sidewalk curb. The Ehlen & Grote general merchandise store moved to this location in 1908 and stretched 140 feet along South Glassell and 50 feet on Plaza Square. Athough P.W. Ehlen retired in 1910, and Henry Grote died in 1920, the store remained family-run until 1938.
