Main Street looking toward Pacific Avenue

Picture taken from center of the intersection of Main Street and 21st Avenue. The view is of Main Street looking towards Pacific Avenue. The street looks to be paved with cement curb and sidewalk on the right and a curb on the left side. On the right side about three doors down a couple of men are standing. Next is CHAS O?. ROE?/POE? & CO FURNITURE. Farther down the street there is a group of people and at least three horse drawn wagons. The two banks can be seen on the right in the distance. On the left is some debris off the street just beyond the curb. Farther down is GOFF BROS. HARDWARE & IMPLEMENTS
