About this postcard
Two green trolley cars meet on the tracks in the foreground of Superior Street, with pedestrians, horse-drawn wagons and more streetcars receding toward a hazy downtown skyline. Tall brick and stone commercial blocks line both sides, one carrying a painted sign for Findley Bros. Superior Street was Cleveland's principal business thoroughfare in the early 1900s, packed with department stores, hotels and office buildings and served by a dense street railway network that moved shoppers and commuters through the center of the city.
