Description
Photograph of a view of Placerville, "where gold is found in the streets", ca.1912. A man stands on the left on top of the raised sidewalk that is shaded by the porches of the buildings that line the sidewalk. The buildings are primarily brick with display windows surrounding their entrance. A lightly-colored street hangs from the porch of a building further down the left side of the street while even further down a boy can be seen crossing the street. On the right a wagon can be seen underneath a sign for gasoline while an American flag hangs low on the building next to it. Electrical poles line the street which appears to be crowded with buildings until tress can be seen in the distance. Similar to CHS-6816.
