Scope and content
ca. 1893. Copy of historical print made on August 31, 1950. This copy of a historical print shows Pacific Avenue about 1893. Tracks visible were used to haul dirt across Pacific Avenue. What appears to be part of Pacific Avenue at the near right was actually a wooden bridge over Galliher's Gulch between 24th & 26th Sts. Items of interest on the right side of Pacific are the Northern Pacific shops (in the distance), the Arlington Hotel (1955 Pacific), the Boston House (2413 Pacific) and to the extreme right, the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge. Two small children in hats sit in a cart in the photo's lower left. TPL-1384, TPL-8073
