Description
Photograph of a View looking east on First Street from Hill Street, showing Nadeau Hotel on right, 1884. A dirt road can be seen from the center foreground into the background. Brick buildings of various heights can be seen throughout. Almost all have flat roofs, and a flag can be seen flying from Nadeau Hotel to the right of center. Utility poles and trees are interspersed throughout, while open land can be seen in the background. Photonegative reads, "Given to Chamber of Commerce November 8, 1930 by Mrs. Eva Naomi Blair, Portsmouth Hotel, 5161 1/2 South Hill Street". Please note that despite the information from the note attached to the photograph, it was likely taken from the Highland Villa and features a view from First and Hill Streets.
