More Info: View file metadata

An aerial view of Broadway Avenue looking south from the 300 block of Broadway. A Lorain Street Railway trolley car can be seen on the tracks.

This photograph was likely taken on a weekday, given the number of cars and pedestrians traveling Broadway. The business name "H.P. Nielsen Watches and Clocks" can be seen on one of the building at the left of the photograph. Smoke from an unknown smokestack can be seen farther to the south (center left).

The date of the photograph, which was likely taken from the rooftop of a business, is likely from circa 1905 - 1910. The photographer is unknown.
