This photo was taken in 1949. The arch was new that year, and still had the original tagline, "Where the West remains."

Meyer Hardware appears on the far right. The building that now houses Baby Doe’s Clothing was under construction. It was too be an addition to The Fair Variety store. The south corner of that block (now The Old Capitol Grill) was a grocery store.

The west side of the 1200 block had three drugstores! Jack’s Pharmacy was on the north corner (now Goozell Yogurt). Alpine Drug was in the middle of the block (now Del’s Tonsorial). Foss Drug was on the south end of the block (now Peak Cycle).

The Table Mountain Inn was The Holland House at that time (and much smaller).
