User Comments:
• This image of Reservation Street looking north is from the early 1910s. The Scott Hotel (opened in 1906) is seen with the second Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church (dedicated in 1910) behind it. Peter Klasen's saloon, seen at the far left of the photo, first appeared in Polk's 1912 city directory. MTU Neg 04127 was taken from a similar location 30+ years earlier.
