perspective print of Sioux City, Iowa was drawn by Henry Wellge and
published by H. Wellge & Co., Beck & Pauli Lith. in 1888. Sioux City was
at its most prosperous point during the late 1800's.

and maintenance shops here. Sioux City supported several meat packing
plants and a stock yard during this era.
