2. View from Kalamazoo County Courthouse, c1900
Looking north-northeast. West Main Street (now Michigan Avenue) in foreground. Rose Street is partially visible in the center of the picture. The building whose roof is visible just to the right of the top of the flag is the first courthouse, which was moved to make room for the second. The long building just beyond that was the Lawrence and Chapin Foundry and later Vermeulen's Furniture Store. It still stands facing Rose Street.
