A dry goods store. The hitching racks are fancier than the posts in other photos. According to the 1956 Centennial paper, this is Thomas "Deacon" Downing in front of his store in the 200 block (south side) of E. Bremer. Downing's advertised their Yellow Mark Sale in Aug 1890. (1991- it would be east part of Keller's Furniture) .
