Winter scene with horse drawn sleighs and a row of businesses. The third building down is Dr. Trutna's office and the fourth building is the Silver Lake Pharmacy.
The large building in the background is the St. Peter Feed Mill at 103 East Broadway in St. Peter, next to the bridge across the Minnesota River. Large mounds of snow along Broadway are visible in this winter view.
This winter scene shows businesses on the west side of South Minnesota Avenue in St. Peter, ranging from the 300 block at the left to the 100 block on the right.

Exterior view of W. F. Liedloff's Saddle and Harness Shop with three men in front of store. Black crepe hangs over door in honor of President Garfield's death.
Sidewalks continue across the street while the sidewalks themselves are well above the street. This era was a mixture, the automobile along with the horse and wagon.
The First National Bank, clothing store, drug store, the PJ Ness cash store and hardware store are some of the business on early Main Street. Wooden traffic signs, Model T Fords and a few people are seen. Many of these buildings remain today much as they were.
