About this postcard

A street-level view of Wabasha Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, with trolley tracks curving down the center of the roadway, commercial buildings lining both sides, projecting awnings, and pedestrians on the sidewalks. Signs for Stern Tailoring Co. and a drug store are visible among the storefronts. Wabasha Street was a busy downtown commercial corridor in the early 20th century, and the card's 1905 copyright date places it in the era when streetcars and pedestrian traffic shared the city's main thoroughfares.
