| Keywords: monochrome architecture outdoor road skyline building building complex A vintage postcard with a view of 1st Avenue North, looking east,. The building under construction is the Brown-Marx Building, completed in 1906. It was so popular, it quickly filled with tenants. This led to its expansion, almost doubling it size. On the left-hand side, in the foreground is the four-story O'Brien Opera House (c.1882). The three-story building after that is the Saks Clother (c.1895 and still standing today). On the right foreground (past the hardware sign) is the Chalifoux Building (department store, c.1895). Next, across 19th Street is the Morris Hotel, build in 1888 in the French Renaissance style. This view looks East, along 1st Avenue. The O'Brien Opera house is now a vacant lot and the Morris Hotel has been replaced by a parking deck.
