Description

Color: Black and white A postcard with a black and white photograph of the Cash Market, located on the southwest corner of Sunset Blvd. (now Temple City Blvd.) and Main Street (now Las Tunas Dr.) The one-story brick structure has some decorative detail in white and large storefront entrances on the right with a smaller window and service door on the left. At far left in the same building is the office of realtor and postmaster R. Thornton Smith, the photographer of the image. In front of the building are nine persons, whose identities are not given, and two automobiles. This building survives today, though greatly altered. In mint condition, the postcard, which was published by the Temple City Historical Society, has slight curling but no other discernible signs of wear or damage.
