Photograph of a market in Sonora town, on the corner of Ord Street and Broadway, north of the Plaza, ca.1890. The single-story market, made of adobe, has shingled roof and appears to be in fairly good condition. A chimney stands on the inclined roof near the corner of the market. A wooden awning, covering almost the entire corner of the store, provides protection to the storefront where vegetables, fruits, brooms, mop handles, and a variety of other things are on display to be sold. A man stands next to the door (at left) facing a small scale that hangs on a wooden post. Next to the wooden post is a pumpkin, several crates and a bag with a tag on it. An advertisement ad hangs from the end of the awning and it reads: "we sell delicious Purity ice cream". Two utility poles line the sidewalk in front of the store. Tracks, rocks and debris can be seen on the dirt road.
