The Bank of Hamilton Building on the southeast corner of 8th Street and Rosser appears to be under construction. The streets are muddy and a horse and buggy is traveling west on Rosser Avenue.
Notes
Writing on the front of the photograph matting reads: during the great storm of November 16 1906, 341. The photograph appears to be taken from the interior of a builing on the southwest corner of 7th Street and Rosser Avenue. Page appears to be from a photo album.
