The tallest building is the Elks Lodge at Radcliffe and Walnut Street. The building was still under construction at the time of this photograph and finished in 1911. To the right of the Elks building is the Blackwood house (double story porches), which later became the home of the Bristol Free Library when it was reorganized in 1916 (before it moved to Dorrance and Radcliffe Street). The Blackwood house has since been removed. On the far right, is the Bristol Water Works building which was first opened in 1874. The tall stand pipe helped with water pressure. The tower to the left of the photo with windows is part of the Dorrance house built in 1863.
