Swiss Reform Church near Downtown
Image
A church is in the distance at the end of the road. On either side of the street are homes and stores, with a street light suspended above the street in the foreground. An automobile and a horse-drawn cart with a large barrel are on the left, and pedestrians are on the sidewalk on the right. One person has a bicycle. In the middle of the road is a traffic post with advertisements. Before the church is a statue commemorating the first Swiss colony in 1845.
