Due to its proximity to the trading port, “Old Street” was a very "fashionable" street a hundred years ago.   There were not only beauty salons, but also wholesale Chinese medicine shops and other shops. Many foreign businessmen would go to the theater to listen to the Taiwanese operas after getting a haircut in the beauty salon. It was once one of the best theaters in Taiwan and it also created the most prestigious Gongyue club (a Taiwanese opera Club) at that time. Later, the Gongyue club even Made the first Taiwanese film in Taiwan.   Then foreign businessmen would go to the traditional century-old Chinese medicine shop to buy medicinal materials for sell, or to talk about business in the opium hall where there is only one wall left.   On the walls of the "Gongfan Temple" that is nearby, you can also find sculptured figures with suits, showing that Mailiao Old Street was an important place where Chinese and Western cultures meet.

老街因鄰近貿易港口，在百年前是一條非常「時髦」的街道，不但有美容院，還有批發中藥鋪等等商店。許多外國商人在美容院整理完頭髮，就會到一旁，曾經也是全台，數一數二大的戲院聽台灣戲曲，也造就了當時最盛名的拱樂社，後來拱樂社甚至拍了全台灣第一部台語電影，接下來外國商人，會繞到傳承百年的中藥鋪，買賣藥材，或者是到現在只剩下一片牆的鴉片館談生意。在附近廟宇「拱範宮」的牆上，還可以找到穿著西裝的雕塑人像，顯示當時麥寮老街，是中西方文化交會的重要地點。
