x 1880 snow blog Cherry St. 1880

A scene from out biggest snow, that of 1880. The prospect is from the front door to another and different Peterson photograph, the pioneer one at the foot of Cherry Street. The snowscape of 1880 on Cherry is compared to two shots of the street from the same prospect about 30 years later. It is also a lesson in what a boom town can do in three decades.
