Picher Main St. About 1920
Early days view of Picher's Main Street looking north. This is in the area that was condemned about 1950 due to a tremendous mine cavern located under it. This view is from 1920 or earlier and shows the primitive conditions in the mining boom town. The picture is part of a large panoramic view of the city. Photo courtesy of E.K.
This view shows the east side of the street in a view looking south on Main Street. Here we can see the original post office at Picher and also a photography studio next to it. This studio is likely the source for all of these wonderful old views of Picher's Main street. This photo is part of a larger postcard photo that has been enlarged. From a picture sent to me by Albert Rauch.
