Title	Spring Street looking north from just south of Seventh Street, 1913
Description	Photograph of Spring Street looking north from just south of Seventh Street, 1913. Very prominent within the middle of the street is a street car carrying a load of passengers. A network of utility lines run overhead. Men, carrying parcels or briefcases, stroll along the sidewalk or cross the street.
