That postcard view (I have a copy of that postcard, postmarked in 1908) clearly shows the Granite Building which is still standing, and McFarlin Clothing right next door. Doing a little research shows that McFarlin Clothing was at 110 – 116 East Main St., so the Bijou Dream stood just next to the present-day hotel on the east bank of the river. A Sunday, March 2, 1913 article in the Democrat and Chronicle says that the Bijou Dream was scheduled to “show its last thriller” before becoming a cigar store.
