About this postcard

Looking down Superior Street in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, with two green trolley cars meeting on the tracks in the foreground and pedestrians, wagons and further streetcars receding toward a hazy skyline. Tall brick and stone commercial blocks line both sides, including a building carrying a painted sign for Findley Bros. Superior Street was Cleveland's principal business thoroughfare in the early 20th century, lined with department stores, hotels and office buildings and served by an extensive street railway network.
