Description
Photograph of a view of Main Street looking north from Temple Block, ca.1874. The Victorian-style office building of the E. Rolfenstein Photographic Gallery stands three stories tall in the left foreground, a sign posted over its first-level overhang which reads "R. Hellman" under which four men are standing. A horse-drawn carriage is parked along the unpaved street to the right, next to a sign that reads "Oyst[ers]", with a sign that reads "Furniture" a little further off in the background. More commercial buildings line the street to either side, stretching to the horizon.
