North side of Square with 3 children
Title
North side of Square with 3 children
Description
Three young people stroll down a "sidewalk" on Benton street with the Hoy Block behind them. The young woman wears leg o mutton sleeves which became popular in the mid 1890s. They were out of fashion by 1906, the same year that the Odd Fellows (IOOF on the building) moved into their new building on Dietz (E. Jackson) street.
The street is dirt; photo not clear enough to determine sidewalk.

108 Cass frame building with gable still showing rather than flat business type frontage.
The date of this photo is probably earlier than 1899 when the Woodstock Pleasure Club was housed here. Other photos show their sign while this photo does not.
