Description
Photograph of a view of Canal Street (later renamed Avalon Boulevard), looking toward C Street and beyond from south of D Street in Wilmington, ca.1900. There is a long, low wooden building at right with a covered porch held up by rectangular posts (adjacent to the Wilmington [Chamber of Commerce]). An adobe arch with terracotta tile roof is at extreme right, and there are several other buildings further down the street at left. The street itself is in the foreground and is a broad dirt avenue marked by the tracks of passing wagons. A line of utility poles runs along the street at center, and a large tree is visible behind the buildings at right. Legible signs include, from left to right, "Hay Hardwick and Brown [?] for you Banning Tract Choice Acreage", "Transfer", "W. S. Moore Real Estate", and "Wilmington".
