As shown, slightly smaller than standard size, meas. Approx 3 1/8″× 5 1/4″. Please view all photos. I believe the building at the end of the street was a saloon. There would’ve been a Dr. Ice Cream Parlor, Shoe Repair, Market, Senderman & Isreal, and other businesses. The dirt road has horse with Wagons/Carriage and early automobiles. Thank you & Happy Shopping!
