Content/DescriptionRight reading bird's-eye view of the town, with numerous townspeople in the street and a dog jumping on a man. Large building at left houses a haberdashery with pants and boots hung outside, and also bears sign "Daguerrean [sic] Room", where several men examine a board, presumably displaying samples, near front door. Gold mines in background. Snow on distant hillside and bare trees suggest springtime. For a view of the small residence next to the commercial building, see the ambrotype numbered 1986.017:002.
