Per patron comment, the second business from the left is the Vienna Bakery Cafe, and a fire started there on May 7, 1909 that burned down all of the businesses in that row. Patron also noted that the sign on the back of the car reads "Alkali Bill's Auto Line," and this was a company that provided transportation from the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad depot in Springfield to Pioneer.
