HISTORICAL GIFT SHOPS

Karen’s Gift Shop, 1960s. Located across the street from the Naswa until the late 1990s. The building is still there, but it is no longer used as a gift shop.
Pinney’s Gift Shop in the 1940s. To the left was a small stand called the Weirs Candy Kitchen, replaced in 1950 by Tarlson’s Arcade. The Pinney building was later expanded with a large annex to the right. The building and annex, at #292 Lakeside Avenue, became part of the Tower Hill Tavern complex in 2021.
Pinney’s Gift Shop in the 1940s.
In the 1960s the shop (and addition to the right) was known as the Thunderbird Trading Post. Entrance to the building was now through the addition.

Masseck’s Gift Shop, 1906-1924. This building preceded Pinney’s Gift Shop, in the same exact location. It was a family business, owned by Clinton S. Masseck and his wife Mary Lee, who together with their son, Clinton J. Masseck, specialized in photography of the area. Many of the postcard images of this era were photographed by the Massecks. The building burned down in the Great Weirs Beach Fire of November, 1924, two summer seasons after Clinton S. had passed away (on June 2, 1923). In the early 1930s, Mary built a new gift shop building, where she resided in an owner’s apartment. In May, 1943, Mary sold the gift shop to Mrs. Pinney.
