Description

Photograph from the Harry Northup album (2015.019.002), cyanotype with enlarged print. Caption from Harry Northrup: "This picture is a view of Main Street, looking to the North. The street had a canopy of beautiful trees, that the 1938 Hurricane destroyed. Note the two ladies, with the parasol, sitting on the step between the two stones for tying up your horse. The steps allowed you to step out of your buggy with ease. Also, there is a beautiful street light to their right. The man complete with straw hat looks cool and dignified in his one horse buggy. There is a second buggy directly behind the man's hat. Isn't it nice without the presence of cars and trucks!"
