Found in an old album of the Carl and Jo Augustine family of Valdez, Alaska.
ORIGINAL Panoramic of Valdez.
On the street to the right are signs for C.H. Voll Assayer, Bakery, Good Eats, further down you can see a large banner spanning the street, rather hard to read but believe it says JAMES MCKINLEY on it. On the left side of the street is the Merchants Cafe and Senate Bar, a bit further is a sign "Arizona" Steam Heated Rooms, hotel?
The road to the left has no business signs, both of the roads show no autos, only 1 horse drawn wagon under the banner, a few people on the boardwalks. The view of the city docks / wharfs is great, it looks like the tide was out when the photo was taken, as there are several boats that are on the land.
The town looks to be almost deserted, maybe for the big event so they could take the photo, just my guess.The photo is in very good condition, has been trimmed to fit in an album. Measures 11 3/4 x 3 1/2 approximately.
