Few details survive for The Park Barber Shop in Columbus, Nebraska, and the caption card gives no date, so the exact year of this print is uncertain. Columbus grew up on the Loup and Platte river valleys in Platte County, and by the late 1800s it had become a busy railroad and farm-trade town. Barber shops in towns like this were social as well as practical spaces, where men waited for haircuts and shaves and talked about local news and business. Photographs of such shops give a sense of the storefront trades that anchored Main Street life.
