Downtown Iola

Image

View of town, likely Iola, at an intersection. The street is unpaved. A man is riding a bicycle down the street heading towards another intersection in the background. A commercial building on the far left at the corner has a sign that reads: "[I]ola House." There are two more commercial buildings further down the street, and all have false fronts. Other buildings are in the background.
