User Comments:
• This is actually on Oak Street in Red Jacket, looking west from Sixth Street. Most of the buildings on the south side of the street are still extant; the steeples of the Red Jacket Congregational Church and St. Joseph's Slovenian Catholic Church (now St. Paul's) can be seen at the right edge of the image.
