Cataloguer's Notes

This was originally thought to be circa 1914, however further research shows that several of the wooden buildings shown became brick before then. It is now thought to be taken in 1904 because the Klondike & Blackburn restaurants to the right of the Dakota National Bank brick building burned down in February 1905. The brick building on Sims with the words Hardware written on the side was built in 1904.
