Print, Photographic

Black and white copy of a photograph printed on photographic paper depicting a view taken from an elevated position at roughly Randolph Street and Jefferson Avenue, facing north.
A three story building on Larned Street, housing Rasch and Bernart's tailor shop, and the Excelsior Saloon, is at the center of the image. In the foreground, a sign reading, "restauration" is hung above a woodpile on the lawn of a small building. In the background across Congress Street is the Congress Street Methodist Episcopal Church. A fence separates the north side of Randolph from Congress, and debris appears to be in Congress, perhaps indicating construction. St. Mary's Catholic Church is in the distance to the east. "No. 15" is written in the upper right corner. "D/Streets Larned and Congress, Rasch and Bernart, Tailors - 61 Larned, cor. Randolf 1858-61, Congress Street M.E. Church, N.E. cor. Congress & Randolf - burned 1863." handwritten on verso.
