Main St. Baker MT ca. 1910

A photo of Baker’s Main St. around 1910 shows it when Irene first moved there with her family.  To the left are the town’s saloons catering to the “unattached” ranch hands, cowpokes and farmers.  On the right, the two-story building is the Lentzes’ general store, selling a variety of merchandise.  Upstairs were rented rooms.  The trolley in the photo is fake.  The streets are still unpaved and muddy and the scene could very well serve as a set for a western movie.
