This photograph of Front Street (taken 1879-1889) faces southeast from the Headquarters Hotel overlooking at Front Street [Main Avenue] south of Broadway, which runs through the bottom of the photograph. The edge of the NP Park can also be seen.

On the far right, one can see the east edge of the United Block, built in 1878. The other buildings and stores on the south side of the street are not readable.

Between Front Street and the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks, are several farm machinery companies.
