Details

This is an extremely nice example of this photograph, early 1900s, Albert Lea, Minnesota.

This shows a very busy street corner with fabulous old cars, roadsters, touring's, trucks, wagons, a buckboard and buggy. People are going to several business's
including a barber shop, hat and cap store and clothing shop at the base of this great brick building.

Some history:
Home Investment Building, 141 East William -- This commercial office building was completed in 1917 and still remains the most sizable landmark of the downtown area.
Was the Hyde Building and now the Lea Center, it houses the local television station and the upper floors have been converted into loft-style housing.

Beautiful condition with only very slight bumped corners. Un-used. Un-divided.

Great gift idea for the postcard person in your life, hometown memories or genealogy, or add to your collection!

Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. I combine whenever possible.

Thanks for viewing!
