Description
Photograph of an unpaved business street in Coloma, [s.d.]. The broad dirt road is lined with trees on both sides. There are two small buildings at left. Both are wooden and have covered porches. A sign on the second one reads "Cold Drinks". There are more buildings on the right, further in the background. Behind the buildings and out of view on the left is the American River, where James Marshall discovered gold in 1848. At one time the population of Coloma was 5000 in 1935, it was only 85.
