Description

This early photograph of the west side of Broadway was taken at the corner of Main Street. The photo was taken in either 1878 or 1879. One point of interest is the wooden sidewalk. The building on the right would eventually house Pop Henry's Grocery and the building to the far left would later be the location for the Bulletin. The Drug Store at the center was advertising "Patent Medicines," "Oils" and "Tonics."
