Description
Photograph of First Street and Hill Street before the tunnel was cut through, November 1908. The apparently unpaved road, lined by telephone poles, curves to the right down towards the town, in which a collection of houses can be seen progressing up a hill. On a hill between the partially visible porch of a house at left and the road is a sign that reads "Highland Villa / Furnished Rooms / $2.00 per Week & Up". Rail tracks are visibly embedded in the road, and a switch track light can be seen at left. Tree cover obscures most of the sky.
