A view looking down Second Street in Davenport, Iowa, with brick commercial blocks lining both sides, streetcar tracks running down the center of the unpaved roadway, and a few horse-drawn wagons, pedestrians and shop awnings along the sidewalks. Signs for a cleaning business and "The Hub" are visible on the left-hand buildings. Second Street was Davenport's principal retail thoroughfare in the early 20th century, when the Mississippi River city was a busy commercial and manufacturing center.
