Oakley & Co.," and "Chino Ranch Market" and people and bicycles are in this view. There are broadsides for Lew Johnson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company posted on a building at far left. "Ontario-corner of Euclid & Holt"--text, handwritten in margin. Title devised by cataloger. Date devised by cataloger based on year building built - 1895 (City of Ontario Historic Landmark). Date approximated by cataloger based on year that Lew Johnson's company toured California (see Henry T. Sampson, Blacks in Blackface: A Sourcebook on Early Black Musical Shows, 14).
