SS104Description
In 1886, the local newspaper declared that the muddy dirt streets of town could be "well-nigh impassable except for men in boots and women in bloomers and boots." The installation of redwood plank crossings was recommended. In dry months, a horse-drawn sprinkler wagon attempted to keep the dust under control. West Main Street was one of the first streets paved, pictured here circa 1914. At right is the Hofstra Block, now the La Canada building. The tower near the end of the street is the 1889 First Baptist Church. SS104Collection
