The automobiles are parked on Fountain street between the Hotel IdanHa, at left, and the old post office or federal building on the right. Behind the post office is the Marquette Hotel. Byron's gift shop is located on the ground floor at the corner of Broadway and Fountain. A closeup of the photo, below, shows the awning of the store. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)
The sign on the hotel lists room rates of $1.25, $1.50 and $2.
Across from the hotel is the Himmelberger-Harrison building. The clock which is visible at the corner of the building was installed in 1939.
