Summary

[edit]
Description

A similar picture of the same car, driver & passenger is in the Del Norte County Historical Society Museum and is labeled 'Dr. Mathew Fountain of Blue Lake, CA, with Elmer McCullough in the first auto in Crescent City, 1905.' It looks like it was taken on H Street between 2nd and 3rd. The building in the background with the arch over the door appears to be the old Crescent City Bank building (later a law office) that stood on the corner of 3rd and H until the 1964 tsunami. I remember playing on the front steps as a boy. The car is a REO Runabout, ca. 1903-1906. Note the pedestrians stopping to watch it go by. This photo was probably taken by my grandfather, George T. Berry.
