Real estate appraisal card. 118 Lower F Street, part of lost 24-26, block 5 in Salida, Colorado.
This building is significant as one of the two that survived the fire of March 1886 on this block. The building housed an early saloon, and a variety of other businesses, most notably, Sam Steinberg's Photo and Novelty Shop, the 'Biggest Little Store in Salida.' Steinberg had started his business in another location in 1922 but moved to large quarters as his company expanded. He was a photographer by profession, but added other goods to create a flourishing business.
