The Gaylord Story - Page 2

Planning to
convert Gaylord to the Alpine Village began with the 300 block of Main
Street on the north side. Photos of the buildings were taken and
compared with architectural renderings using the alpine motif.
This idea for renovation took off like wild fire and quickly spread
throughout the business district. |
 |
The
transformation began and continues. Here are two of the first
building to adopt the Alpine Motif. Al's Drug Store was on the
corner and Ollic's Office Supply was in the center of the 300 Block.

showing further renovation and expanded use of the Alpine theme. |

Across the street, is how the
south side of the 300 Block looked prior to the remodeling effort. The
two-story building and the business next to it were vacant. They
were purchased and razed by Dibbles Department Store of Bad Axe. |
 |
Dibbles then purchased the
building housing Moorhead's Sales and Service and built the structure
seen in this photograph. |
