Call NumberX-2656Date1864SummaryView looking north on Main Street toward Eureka Street in Central City, Colorado. The block consists of mostly wooden, clapboard, one and two-story storefronts. The unpaved street is littered with garbage and debris. In the foreground, two men, who are wearing bowler hats, sit on a pile of logs. Several pedestrians walk along the street and on the wood- plank sidewalk. Two horse-drawn carts travel down the street. The signs painted on or attached to the various buildings read, "Clothing Furnishing Goods O.K. Store Wholesale & Retail. Groceries, Provisions, Outfitting," "Massasoit Hotel," "Bookstore," "Dentist," and "Concert Hall Billiard Room." Many of the buildings were destroyed in the fire of 1874.Physical Description1 copy photonegative : black and white ; 10 x 13 cm (4 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint : black and white ; 18 x 24 cm (7 1/4 x 9 3/4 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectCentral City (Colo.)Business districts--Colorado--Central City--19th centuryStreets--Colorado--Central City--19th centuryGeographic AreaCentral City (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710002656Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromNolie Mumey Mss.
