Postcard photo of East Wilson Street, looking West from River Street.
The road appears to be dirt, with horses and wagons along it. Power lines and lamp poles are positioned periodically along the side of the road, and multiple storefronts can be seen, including S. C. Hollister on the far right. Also on the right seems to be a storefront for "Fruits."Photograph Details
