Broadway Street, looking to the north photographed from a location near the present city hall.
The original picture was taken from a picture postcard, which bore a postmark dated 1907 and
addressed to Miss Lola Craig at Howard Payne College in Brownwood. Most likely, this picture,
-as well as many others in this series - was made by her brother, Eldridge, who was a Bells
pharmacist and photographer. Although they are hardly visible in this picture, Bells once had
two water wells in the center of Broadway St.

1910
