High & Madison Streets - 1890's

Looking East on High Street at the intersection of High and Madison The large white building at the upper left of the picture was torn down and replaced by the Central Bank building in 1915-1916. When this photograph was taken, the bank occupied the Hope Building at 201 East High Street, across Madison near the top center of the picture. The Hope Building is one of the oldest buildings in Jefferson City, built around 1833-1843 and has served a number of retail businesses over the years. The building has been nicely restored and is presently occupied by Cook, Vetter, Doerhoff & Landwehr, Attorneys.
