The 600 block of Hamilton Street, looking eastbound from Center Square, about 1900. Horses, wagons and horse-drawn delivery wagons are prominent on Hamilton Street. The Lehigh Valley Transit streetcar tracks have just been re-aligned to go around the Monument in the middle of Center Square. Horses still pull the streetcars, as electricity has not yet powered the buildings nor the streetcars. Several prominent buildings have not yet been erected, such as the Lehigh Valley Trust or Dorney Furniture, which will be erected by 1911. The Central Business District is still predominantly a daytime center of commerce, as there are no streetlights shown in the image.
