Matted and ready to pop into a standard frame: This interesting 8" x 10" photo print is from an original photo c.1899 depicting the Triumphal Arch with street cars (Salt Lake City railroad) and bicycles nearby. Also shown is Geo. M. Scott-Strevell Hardware and Senior & Co. Brokers. We have other images of Salt Lake City on this site.
=========================================== Some Salt Lake City history from the net: Downtown Salt Lake City is noted for its broad streets and spacious blocks, a legacy of the Mormon settlers who laid out the city in 1847. The city was built on a grid system based on the four streets bordering Temple Square, the focus of the downtown area.
Batteries A and B of the Utah Volunteers were called up by Governor Heber M. Wells on April 25, 1898. Five hundred men responded in the next thirty days to fight in the Spanish-American War in the Philippine Islands. Senior Captain Richard Whitehead Young was made the commanding officer of both units. After training at Fort Douglas for several weeks, the soldiers departed from San Francisco, California for the Philippines on June 14, 1898. They fought many battles between August , 1898 and June 23, 1899, when they were relieved of duty and returned to the U.S. Salt Lake City honored them with a special homecoming celebration on August 19,1899 when the troopers marched from a Salt Lake City train station to Fort Douglas. To mark the occasion, Salt Lake City officials spent $15,000 to build a triumphal arch on the corners of Main Street and Second South for the troopers to march under. Salt Lake City=s citizens were jubilant and turned out in the thousands to watch the two batteries march through the city. The group suffered only twenty-two casualties from injuries and disease and served with distinction. These fourteen prints chronicle the men=s training at Fort Douglas and extraordinary home coming parade on August 19th. ===========================================
