This photograph shows a business section of Grand Forks, North Dakota, a city on the Red River of the North that grew rapidly with the arrival of railroads in the 1880s. The record includes no date, but the photoprint was made from a nitrate negative, a process typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Such street views record storefronts, signage, and the everyday commercial life of a growing prairie city, so they are useful for seeing how its main commercial blocks looked in that era.
