This Boehl street scene photo was taken looking west on Washington Avenue at Sixth Street in 1891. (32/61)

The building on the northwest corner at right is the Lindell Hotel, which was rebuilt in 1874 after having been destroyed by fire. Spurred by an offer of $100,000 from Washington Avenue businessmen, who felt a major hotel would encourage commerce on the street, reconstruction was started on the Lindell.
