Main Street Looking East
Image
View down Main Street. There is a bank on the right and a 5&10 cent store on the left. Horse-drawn wagons and carriages are along the unpaved street. In the far background is a steep hill or bluff. On the sidewalk in front of the general store on the right is what appears to be a carbide/acetylene street light, with a glass bulb on top, and a tank on the bottom.
