Early view of Ellen Street, Port Pirie, 2 years before a railway was built along it

Summary edit

Description
English: This postcard shows Ellen Street, Port Pirie, 2 years before a railway was built along it. Single-storey timber shops and a two-storey stone building under construction (note that retouching of the negative by the photographer is evident). The landform of the street is varied; an upturned wheelbarrow is in the foreground. Based on the position of the smokestack, the stone building is probably the present-day Internationl Hotel on the corner of Ellen Street and David Street.
