Appreciate Jazz Month with the Band on 2nd Street

Band on Second St.jpgI don’t know if they will be available to play your next event, but this band from the late 19th century is concert-ready in this photograph. On back of the photograph shown above, we found this handwritten note:

“Hunt’s Brewery, north on 2nd street at the corner where the U.S. Post Office now stands. The Blacksmith … next on the right was Manual … restaurant, the small white building at left stood where Montgomery Wards Building now stands. Opposite the Brewery stood Corvallis first grocery store, where the Huston Building (now being remodeled) has stood for many years.”

They last played at the dedication of Corvallis Brewery building in 1887.
