Description
Vintage 1954 Ford Country Squire Wagon parked at the abandoned Shell Station on Erie Street in Lowell, Arizona. Part of the Lavender Pit and mining operation are in the background.
Lowell was at one time a sizable mining town located just to the southeast of Old Bisbee. The majority of the original townsite was consumed by the excavation of the Lavender Pit mine during the 1950s. All that is left today is a small portion of Erie Street, along with Evergreen Cemetery, Saginaw subdivision and Lowell Middle School. These days Lowell is considered by most of the local residents to be more of a place name than an operating community.
Erie Street is like stepping into a movie set and back in time.
This street depicts true American history and the way of life during 1950-60's era.
Apparently there are only two to three true store fronts and the rest are empty.
