The Retreat, ca. 1862

A sepia toned photograph taken circa 1865 of a building with two storefronts. The storefront on the left is a saloon which has a taller false front with a sign on it that reads, "The Retreat." Each storefront has a door in the centre with a window on each side of the door. There is a picket fence in front of the building and a forest in the background.
