Looking East Toward Fairgrounds
Title
Looking East Toward Fairgrounds
Description
Taken from the roof of 100 Cass (Medlar's studio) but from the Benton Street side, this photo shows the buildings next to the railroad tracks on what is now East Judd Street at Jefferson Street. The building with the three-step edge on the roof is 126 N. Benton. It also shows stacks of lumber possibly from Hall & Eckert or Bagley's Lumber yards, several houses on Madison Street, barns and sheds with farmland in the background.
Labelled as looking east toward the fairgrounds by Modelle Medlar McCoy for the Sesquicentennial photo exhibit in 2002, she dated it in 1885. Jim Keefe slide identified it as 1890
Still trying to verify that the three-gabled building in the distance is the original fair building that was destroyed by fire in 1922.
