A 5"x7" nitrate negative, photograph of the north side of the downtown square, David City, Nebraska. A block of two-story red-brick, flat-topped business buildings with pediments, double-hung windows on the second floor, two projecting second-story bay windows, awning-covered first-floor windows, the city standpipe and smoke rising from the smokestack at the city electric plant. The First National Bank building with a corner entrance flanked by columns and clock above has a water fountain on the sidewalk in front, a street light on the sidewalk further down, brick streets in front and automobiles parked diagonally in the middle of the street and people on the sidewalk in front.
