Photograph of an exterior view of the Westminster Hotel on the corner of Main Street and Fourth Street, ca.1895. A large, four-story Victorian-style building is shown at center, taking nearly an entire city block to itself, with towers of bay-windows spaced at regular intervals down its sides. On the first floor, striped cloth awnings extend over what appear to be display windows. A utility pole can be seen to the right.
