Hello to Joyce |
| Early 1900s postcard compared to 2001 photo. Taken standing across
from Video store, formerly Penneys. |
| What's different? Left side of street: business building replaced
by First National Bank, Oliver Block and Troy House razed in 1970s, replaced
by bank addition and parking lot. I am sure the photographers who took
these early photos had nothing close to the difficulties I encounter with
the interminable traffic. I finally had to resort to 6 AM on a Sunday morning
to get the photos without being killed and even then there were cars and
trucks passing through regularly. It is easier to take photos early Sunday
morning in Elmira's business district than at this intersection in Troy. |
| What's the same? Left foreground - Same building was Mitchell Brothers
then and Ben Franklin now. VanDyne Building last on left still stands as
Bank. Right side of street has same buildings still standing. |
