Elevated view of Govan with the Silver Plate Hotel
about 1908 to 1915
An elevated view over Govan showing a muddy, puddled street in the foreground, the three-storey Silver Plate Hotel at centre, a long low building to its left, and wooden false-front stores including a hardware store along the main street, with houses and open prairie beyond. Horse-drawn wagons stand near the buildings, and a faint circular mark, possibly from a postmark or stamp, appears in the sky at upper left.
