View of the east side of the 200 block of Stephenson Avenue, facing north, the Jenkins Hotel in foreground

The camera is facing north on Stephenson Avenue in the mid-1880s in this view of the east side of the 200 block where John R. Wood built the Wood Block which housed the First National Bank in 1888. William H. Jenkins opened his hotel at the corner of South Stephenson Avenue and East Ludington Street in early November 1881. The three-story frame hotel was considered the city’s finest, rooms renting for $2.00 per day in 1885. The fourth building from the corner in this photograph, advertising dry goods and clothing, was probably Charles E. Parent’s store. Note the dirt streets and the board sidewalk crossing East Ludington Street.
