Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the San Bernardino Post Office building and Business College, ca.1905. The two-story brick building of the Business College is visible at center on the corner of two streets. On the first floor, shop-style windows are situated, a few to the right covered by striped canopy, one of which is a sign that reads "Post Office". Bicycles are parked alongside the sidewalk in front. On the second story, each window is framed by a brick arch, and a sign on one of the windows reads "Shorthand Department". Rail car tracks run through the center of the unpaved street in the foreground. Other legible signs include: "The [...] Electric Company. Light. Power", "Clar[...] Lodging", and "Save the Bands".
