Arlington Heights: Bringing Back the Past

Campbell Street, in addition to the other areas around the railroad tracks, is where commerce began in the burgeoning village of Arlington Heights. The village was actually named Dunton until 1874. 

Looking west on the south side of Campbell Street between Evergreen and Dunton in 1928, shops included Otto Jarling Meat Market, National Tea Co., a U.S. Post Office, Heidorn's Sweet and Eat Shop and Krause's Market.

Continuing toward Dunton Avenue was A&P Neumann's Barber Shop, Krause & Kehe Real Estate and Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. 

Today, in [roughly] the same locations, , A La Mode Collections, First Arlington Barber Shop, Hershey's Ice Cream, Upstairs Boutique and Gift and Randhurst Shoe Repair now help to make up the bustling downtown of Arlington Heights.
