Photograph of a view of Main Street in Calexico, Imperial Valley, ca.1910. A horse-drawn carriage is parked in front of a bakery in the left foreground, with other wooden, saloon-style shops lining that side of the unpaved street. Other carriages can be seen in the background, parked along the roadside as well. Horse dung is visible in several spots on the road. The bakery sign reads: "Home Confectionary / Bakery [...] Soda".
