Main Street at Court Avenue, Baker City - 1899

This highly detailed view by an unknown photographer of a block in downtown Baker City shows the sophistication of the local architecture at that time.

We've labeled the photographer as Culver Pictures, as the original print has their stamp on its back. However, Culver is not a photo studio -- they were one of the first stock photography firms, beginning their business in 1926.

We are looking south on Main Street, between Court Avenue and Valley Avenue. Many of the businesses in the block can be identified.
