DescriptionImage of a street lined with buildings and posted signs which read "US Hotel" and "Blacksmith & Wagon shop". A horse-drawn carriage travels down the dirt road and a group of men stand near the porch on the left and look towards the viewer. This half plate daguerreotype is housed inside of a brass mat (no preserver) with a red velvet liner inside of a decorative paper covered wooden case with metal clasps.
