Main Street, Looking North
Image
View down center of Main Street. Unidentified buildings are on the left, with a stack of barrels in front. A building with a public phone is next door. Two children are on the sidewalk in front of another storefront. In the distance horses and wagons are hitched up at the curb. On the right is a building with a large porch and a bar next door. A 5&10 cent store is further down the block. In the far distance is a bluff.
