The Olds, Wortman & King Department Store took up the quarter block on the southwest corner of SW 5th & Washington. At one time it connected to the Exchange Building on 6th Avenue as the store operated out of both buildings. Constructed in 1891, this building was replaced only 21 years later. The Hotel Monaco (Lipman-Wolfe and Company Building) is on this location now.

I’m looking for an image from around the same period as this one, but showing the buildings to the west on Washington from 5th to 7th (Broadway). Any help is appreciated.
