The Corner of Clinton and Union was the downtown of Gardenville. Once a bustling center of commerce, it had an ice cream shop, drugstore, Dr. office, market and just about anything you could want or need for daily life.
Gardenville was one of the original walkable communities. Each year the parade closed down the bridge for the annual parade, this area was bustling throughout the late 50’s.
Here are some images sent from Pam Stadler Kowalewski
from when Gardenville was hopping.
Lefty’s Drugstore
Mrs. Bierlein’s candy store at the corner of Clinton & Union. Later became the town lock up and Charlie Wohlfeil and his family occupied the rest of the rooms. This building was later moved to 3655 Clinton.
