Update - January 2010: Black & white print attached to ivory colored matboard which has been cut off. Image shows an early day town site with multiple sized wooden frame & log buildings in a long row. A large barren hill is in the distance side left. A very tall pole is seen at street edge at center of print. Names of the businesses read: L to r in near foreground: Dry Goods; Hardware; City Restaurant; G. W. Hugus & Co; J. W. Hugus Company; Bankers General Groceries. The foreground depicts an uneven road composed of dirt & strewn unknown objects. Barrels are lying next to the tall pole at base. Area is from 3rd Street of North Front to 9th Street. Date is post 1883.
