1909, as written on the photograph
Elevated view over a young prairie town, with the three-storey Silver Plate Hotel and an attached barber shop and pool room at centre, a row of stores including The Peoples Store and a hardware store along a board sidewalk, and scattered houses on open prairie beyond. Dirt streets, standing water and telephone poles fill the foreground, and a few small figures and a horse-drawn vehicle can be seen near the stores.
