View of a large crowd on 4th Street possibly watching firemen battle a building fire in St. Louis, Missouri, c. 1868. Note the stream of water in the street gutter in the foreground which probably is coming from the firemen's efforts. Originally published as a stereoview.
The place for the most fascinating photographs from history specializing in animating stereoscopic images.
