The views is looking North/northwest down Main St (now Elkhart St.). Looks like things are busy in town, so it is possibly a Saturday? The picture may have been taken before 1899.

The photograph appears to have been possibly taken from the roof of the house one the northeast corner of Harrison and South Elkhart Street.
