This is a reprint of a historic photo of Saugatuck's riverfront. It does not show Saugatuck in the mid-'60s.
The image shows three men, one is likely Doc Heath, standing before a small, clapboard, gable-roofed building that is flying a U.S. flag from a pole attached to its peak. To the left of the image are stacks of overturned wooden, rowboats awaiting rental. The rowboats have "A&H" stenciled on their bows. Two dark canoes are visible behind the men.
