Photograph of a view of Chester Avenue looking south in Bakersfield, showing the Grand Hotel and Beale Clock Tower, ca.1900. Two- to three-story Victorian-style buildings are visible on either side of the wide, unpaved street. To the left, the Grand Hotel can be seen in the foreground, while the Hochheimer can be seen on the corner of the same side of the street near a horse-drawn cart. At center, a streetcar makes its way down the center of the road, the clock tower visible in the distance. A sign on the car reads "Redlick's. The House that Saves". A bicyclist and more horse-drawn carts can be seen to the right.
