First & Columbia 1870

Thanks to Jerry Cox we
went back to the relatively recent past on Friday. Today we step back to the early days of our city. This photo shows First & Columbia in 1870. I’m assuming this is looking north due to the hill in the background (pre-regrade). The streets are dirt and a few trees remain. Modern day view is
here. Click for the super hi-res version.
