View of Iron Mountain's East B Street near the Chicago and Northwestern Railway tracks

Evergreen Arch for Dickinson County’s Formation, 100 Block of East B Street, Looking West, Iron Mountain, ca. June 13, 1891: The evergreen arch which crosses Iron Mountain’s East B Street near the Chicago & North-Western Railway tracks in this historic photograph was erected for the celebration of Dickinson County’s formation held on Saturday, June 13, 1891. The day before, the six-year-old son of William H. Hancock, who was watching workmen erect the arch, was run down while attempting to escape from a speeding delivery wagon. The Milwaukee & Northern Railway Depot is at the left, the Commercial Hotel is in the center and Charles E. Parent’s house can be seen toward the end of the south side of the 100 block. The two-story building at the right within the arch was called the McKinney Flats and contained a number of stores. This structure, with the second story removed, still stands today. The building to the right of the arch is the Central House, located at 106 East B Street. [Mr. and Mrs. Ken Pavey]
