Jefferson Street |
Description |
Black and photograph taken at a location on North Jefferson Street in Roanoke, Virginia between the Stone Printing and Manufacturing Co. and Hotel Roanoke looking southward along Jefferson Street. Buildings on the right are Stone Printing and Manufacturing Co. at 110-130 North Jefferson Street, Hotel Stratford at 106 North Jefferson Street, and the Norfolk & Western general office building at 16 North Jefferson Street. On the left is the wall surrounding the Hotel Roanoke property. Horses, buggies, and wagons are moving along the dirt street. The tall building in the distance on the left is the Terry Building at 207 South Jefferson Street. The railroad crossing gates are in the down position. A man wearing suspenders looks from the window of the Stone Printing building. This photograph appears to be a copy. The word "Stone" and the number "16837" appear in the image at the lower right corner. The lettering on the Stone Printing building appears to be enhanced. The lettering on the side of the building and the awning may have been added to the negative or the photograph after the picture was taken. |
