Sepia-tone photo of exterior view of the aftermath of fire at John Schmalz's Sons' Model Bakery, Hoboken, no date, ca. February, 1909. Circa 3-3/4" wide x 4-3/4" high print mounted on 5-1/2" x 6-1/2" photographer's mounting board. Photographer not indicated. Reverse is blank. None of the people are identified.
Direction of this view is not apparent. Sightseers stand in the street; a trolley car is at the right. This building, built in 1899, burned down in 1909 and was replaced by a fireproof building that still stands on the site. The bakery buildings encompassed the block along the south side of Eighth Street between Grand and Clinton Streets.
