Old Worthington Business District ca. 1895

The west side of High Street in Worthington’s downtown business district is shown in this postcard. Taken about 1895, the new interurban tracks and wires are visible in the middle of High Street. The horse was still the favored mode of transportation, as can be seen by the hitching posts with horses and buggies.
