This large brick building is named: STATE BLOCK This is an original large format sepia tone negative on Eastman Kodak Safety Film. It measures 4-5/8'' x 3-1/2''. It is almost the size of a post card!

There are businesses upstairs and downstairs with large awnings on some. Beginning at the left there is a famous store: J. C. PENNEY COMPANY There is a lawyers office upstairs. The name is hard to make out. The next two stores have large signs. These read as follows: ENNA JETTICK $5 SHOES $6 TONKIN & FRAZER There is a ''BUS STOP'' sign on the telephone pole in the center.
