View is looking southwest. Buildings from left to right are: north side of Tin and Copper Shop and the east side of the Boiler Shop to right. The walkway and Third Street tunnel used to enter the shops complex are visible at center. The date is based on the presence of the Cyclone snow plow at right rear. It was purchased in March of 1890 and dismantled in 1894.
