This photograph by F.J. Haynes was taken sometime between 1879 and 1889. It depicts the east side of Broadway looking north from NP Avenue. Unfortunately, none of the store names are legible even at high magnification except for the Luger Brothers Furniture. A similar scene can be seen (in larger context) in the picture here.

The 25x123 foot building on the corner was constructed in 1878 by Jasper B. Chapin. The upper floor was used as a theater and was known as Chapin Hall. It became known as the Opera House in 1883.

This photograph is a companion piece to the one shown here which looks south over the same stores.

All of these stores were destroyed in the fire of 1893.

This photograph is from the State Historical Society of North Dakota Museum Collection A2937.
