DescriptionA horse-drawn wagon is in front of two commercial buildings on a city street. The building on the left is brick and has a sign on the basement that reads: "Removed to 726 Main St. / 3 DOORS ABOVE / DAVID SEIDE". The building on the right is in the Renaissance revival style and has ornate arched windows with decorated pilasters, a heavy cornice, and a balustrade with ball finials on the roof. Signs on a two-story bay window read: "W. E. BAKER & SON / LIFE INSURANCE." and "HARTFORD CITY GAS LIGHT COMPANY." A sign on the door reads: "W.E. BAKER /& SON / REMOVED TO / ROOM 337 / 783 MAIN ST." Both buildings appear to be empty. The paved street is wet, probably from rain.
NotesSubject Note: According to the Hartford City Directory, David Seide, a barber, was located at 708 Main Street in 1904; in 1905 he appears at 726 Main Street. William E. Baker & Son, insurance agents, were at 700 Main Street in 1904 and at 783 Main Street, room 337 in 1905.Status
