Water, mud and debris fill Union Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado. Brick storefronts show signs: "Klein & Leiser" "Colonial Jewelry" "Exchange Rooming House" "Weisel Seed" "Star House" and "Economy Clothing." Cast iron street lamps with milk glass globes line the thoroughfare. The Board of Trade Building, City Hall, and the turret of the Riverside Block show above other structures. The steel arch of the Arkansas River bridge is past wrecked automobiles and piled lumber.
