A Look at Montebello Way Nearly a Century Ago

Popular downtown Los Gatos street used to be called Railroad Avenue.

This historical photograph offers a corner view of a real estate office and Nuss & Hays Hardware.

The image was probably captured in 1916. The Crider's Department Store logo is noticeable to the right on the front of the Opera House building.
