Front Street
Front Street was a dirt road at the turn of the century, and the first Union Passenger Depot had not been built. This stretch is Front Street, between 26th and 27th Avenues. On the left is a white picket fence encircling a private residence, where a pig has wandered into the street. In the middle ground is a steam-powered tractor, standard at the time. In the hazy distance is the site where the first depot would be built.
