This photographic image is from a souvenir travel brochure published in the early 1900′s. The brochure featured places and photographic images from Jamestown and Chautauqua County.
I know the image is north of Miller Street but with fewer building in the background I cannot quite figure out the location. Does anyone know the location?
For those of you with images from this or who can identify the shoreline please let me know where the photo was taken.
