South of NP Avenue:
- Dacotah Drug Company

- First National Bank at
23 Broadway.
On the west (right) side of Broadway,
not many buildings can be identified because of the angle from which the photographer
was shooting. Clearly visible on the southwest corner of Broadway and First
Avenue is the

74 Broadway

First Avenue North) sign is visible
At the head of Broadway at Front
