The left side of the street shows a mix of frame and brick structures, with signage visible in the distance.The card is captioned in the negative: “Main St. looking west, Jonesville, Mich.” with the number 3520 and reference number 144-12, suggesting it was part of a photographer or publisher’s local series.Details:Format: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Era: c. 1905–1915 (divided back, AZO style postcard stock typical of the period)Location: Jonesville, Michigan – Hillsdale CountyView: Main Street, horse and buggy, storefronts, pedestrians, early commercial architectureCondition: Light age toning; no writing or postmark; unmailed; overall very good for ageHistorical Notes:Jonesville, settled in the 1820s, became one of the earliest towns in southern Michigan.
