These replica trains were part of a 4th of July celebration on Shoshone St. South near the Train Depot. The photo was taken by Chas Jacoby.

This is an early Bisbee photo showing Main Avenue South and Hansen Street where the fountain is located. The fountain, installed in the 1960s is now scheduled to be replaced by a Splash Park & Plaza. The Rotary Club is now raising funds for the project. The Palace Baths & J.A. Buchanan Repair Shop was replaced by the White Store and later J.C. Penney. When J.C. Penney moved to the Magic Valley Mall, it was replaced by Claude Brown Furniture.
