Second Street, Hillsboro
Title
Second Street, Hillsboro
Description
Sepia-toned image of a plank street, lined by square-fronted buildings. Most are two-story, though single-story buildings have facades that approximate a second story. The building at the corner right of the street has 'Druggist' lettered in one window. Three men in suits and hats stand on the boardwalk outside this building. A bu8ilding just down from the drugstore advertises 'Furniture. Wall Paper [sic], Picture Framed Glass. Across the street, the first building bears a sign reading 'Post Office,' and just down from that is a striped barber pole, a boot shop, and a meat market. A single gaslight is visible on the far left of the street, and two power poles stand beside buildings on the image right of the street. The planked area is in the middle of the road, with boardwalks running in front of the buildings, and large ditches crossed by wooden ramps between the two. Rows of trees in full leaf line the street beyond the block of businesses.
