Located on East Main Street one block north of Temple Street, the building is bounded by Spring Street, Main Street, Court Street and Market Street; this is a view of the Spring Street side. Vendors are set up at the base of the building under cover of temporary awnings. Horse-drawn carriages are seen at right. The clock on the tower shows the time to be 11:10. Legible signs include: "Gore & Stradley [...] Shoes". Writing on one image reads "Old Court House 1885...". The building was built in 1859 by John Temple and rented to the County and to vendors who leased store space.
