A horse drawn streetcar.

Photograph of a white horse attached to an enclosed, four-wheel streetcar which travels on tracks through Lawrence. On the roof of this car appears a curved sign that says "K. P. Depot," on the body of the car, towards the top, it reads "Lawrence St. Railway Co.," and towards the bottom it says, simply, "Progress."
