A wide unpaved street with perhaps a boardwalk or raised area for pedestrian crossing. On the left side of the street six clapboard storefronts. Horses, covered carriages and people dot the scene. This image was featured as History Mystery #93 with the question "The building on the corner still stands. Downtown - where and when?" and the solution "Downtown Douglas ca 1900 - the building on the corner is now the home of Everyday People Cafe."
