Title

East Jackson to Public Square

Description

This is an unusual view, looking down East Jackson toward the Spring House. The only clue to the date is the style of lamp posts that were installed in the downtown area in 1912.

Two frame buildings, one a business style and the other a Greek Revivial house, are on the east side of Jefferson Street. Both have been demolished.

The back sides of the Odd Fellows building and the Murphy's Block (bank ) building are visible.

The only identifying material on the reverse side is No. 11516.
