Onondaga Street was named after the county in New York from which Cynthia and Hiram Duff came when they moved to Iowa in the 1860s. The photograph is looking easterly along the south side of the street just east of the Kellogg Avenue corner. The tallest building on the south side (third building in the right of the picture) was for many years known as the Fair Store (a combination grocery and men's and women's apparel business). On the corner is a tin-covered building, housing in part of its structure the Temple of Economy Millinery shop. That building was replaced by the First National Bank in about 1913. The streetcar tracks in the picture had been put in about 1907. This photograph was taken around 1909 before the street was paved and renamed "Main Street" in 1910.
