Looking down Main Street West towards Coleman Place (now Coleman Mall). Walkley's Commercial and Family Hotel was built in 1881. It was previously occupied by the Commercial Hotel. The Standard building alongside the hotel is the first home of the Manawatu Evening Standard, from 1880 until 1900 when it burnt down. Alexander Ferguson's store and Snelson's Peoples Mart are also in the photo. The building on the corner is the Bank of Australasia, built in 1881.
