European Hotel on Woody Street in 1890s

This is how the corner of Woody and Spruce streets looked in the 1890s. The structure on the corner now occupied by the Marsh, Powell & Livingston building was the European Hotel, which had 40 rooms. Its manager was Miles Mix. Woody street at that time was the main north-south thoroughfare of the business district, with the Northern Pacific passenger station located at its north end.
