Comparing Photos


Two different perspectives of Green Street.  The three buildings on the furthest right side remain pretty much the same.  But the façade of the Chambers Store has changed.  So which photo is older?  The top photo (from the above two) was taken just after the fire in 1894.

Below Zoomed in on both.
The above photo is looking to the east, the north side of Green Street.
The above photo is looking to the west, the north side of Green Street.
Note an arch has been added to the Chambers store.  It appears the corbels maybe the same; a center one removed and an arch added.

Add below . . . a partial listing of businesses on the north side of Green Street dated 1908.
