Miss Nickel Plate (WWI-Era Photo Album)

Those of you who have looked through the Downtown Hobart blog have seen this young woman before. We're now going to see her again. We don't know who she is. Aside from a handwritten caption under the first photo — "Nickel Plate Depot" — we have no information on these photos.

I find the background of that second photo interesting. That frame building is probably a railroad storage shed. Then some advertising billboards, I think. Main Street would run left and right across the far background, and just beyond the street, a water tower on the left, and on the right — you can just make out the outline of the Nickel Plate Garage, yes?
