Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. The image on this postcard is of Water Street looking north from Jones Street. Most of the buildings along the street appear to be occupied with a store, except one that has newspapers covering the glass windows. In front of this store resting against the sidewalk is a bicycle. There are three vehicles visible in the photo and some pedestrians towards the background of the image.
The postcard is likely from the early 20th century.

Notes

Condition: Excellent- there is a dark mark in the upper right corner and on the left side of the postcard where the street lamp is peeking into the photo there is a water mark.
