A Look at Roseway Over the Years

Fairley’s Pharmacy, a mainstay of the Roseway neighborhood for many years. (Photo from from the book, 65 Years, Lives and Legends by George Denfeld.)

An aerial view of Sandy Blvd. before Safeway took over the old Fred Meyer space.

In this photo, you can see how the store was built around a home whose owner refused to sell their property.

“The Fred Meyer house” during construction of the store. Pictured: Ruth Murray and sister, Hannah Peters Noonan.

Near the intersection of 57th and Sandy in the 1940s.

In the 1970s, the historic Roseway theater was revamped to have a pipe organ and began showing old movies. (Photo from the book, 65 Years, Lives and Legends by George Denfeld.)

The park blocks along NE 72nd Ave. Date unknown.
