Colorized photo from 1900

Location: 336 Main St (approx)
I was attracted to all the signs mostly, we just don't see signs like this these days. There are all kinds of signs, signs for travel, signs for cigars, there are even signs for more signs. I believe there are four sign stores here, even the type that looks like a big hand. One of them is pointing to something across the street.
I like that there is a museum, there almost never is one in these pictures.
As quaint as this scene is, nothing of this scene exists today, only the track, which is weird because usually its the other way around. There were postcards of this area, but they varied in color so much, none of them were reliable. I am pretty sure that the street cars with open sides were red, and the closed version were green.
