Scope and content
ca. 1889. In 1889, if you were able to stand on the roof of the Northern Pacific Headquarters building at 621 Pacific and look south, this is the scene you would take in. Horse drawn carriages and the streetcar stir up dust in the street while pedestrians stroll on wooden sidewalks past shop windows. On the right is the Charles W. Langert Wholesale Liquor and Thompson, Pratt & Co. located in the new structure at 710-712 Pacific Ave. The building had been constructed in 1887 and was designed by the architecture firm of Farrell & Darmer.
