Bird's Eye View of Busy Downtown Ferndale, California, post 1894 and pre 1896. The Russ, Early & Williams brick store is at left foreground, then three smaller buildings and the forward-facing pitched roof "Gilt-Edge Hotel" with restaurant sign. Next to that is the 1894 Dan A. Branstetter Building with the clock. However, the twin to that building built in 1896 is not present, leading the date to be between 1894 and 1896.
