Sumpter. Beginning of plank street construction at the intersection of Mill and Granite streets. This photo looks south down Mill St. The plank street ran a couple of blocks west (right) down Granite St. from this intersection. Large building at the left is the Ellis Opera House. The photo was taken from the future site of the Sumpter Hotel.
