Two-story clapboard home and adjacent one-story clapboard sided home, Olympia, 1880

In the foreground is the snow-covered street, with young trees planted in front of the home and store. The home is a two-story building with two chimneys, tall sashed windows at ground and upper level, a covered entry porch. The store is one story with a central entryway, a side entrance, and three windows. Over the door is a sign reading Sam Williams. A tall flagpole emerges from the roof. The home was later the site of the Mottman Mercantile, formerly a mercantile store operated by the Williams Brothers and later by Toklas and Kaufman, at the corner of Main Street and 4th Avenue (now Capitol Way and Fourth Avenue).
