Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. This image is of Water Street looking north from Jones Street. In the background of the photo the green bridge crossing over Trout Creek can be seen. There are a couple horse drawn carriages on the street with pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. If examined closely some of the stores that line the street have signs that can be read. For example on the right side of the street is a sign that has the word "Restaurant" on it.
This photograph was likely captured in the early 20th century.

Notes

Condition: Good- there are small brown stains towards the center left of the image and another just below the horse in the center. Another stain is in the top right corner of the postcard.
