This 1909 postcard shows the Garland Hotel with folks sitting on the porch,
and the church.
The written side is to Ethel Ryan in Gorham from someone named Kate and
talks of "a bear fright". Click the picture to read it for
yourself.
If you see Michael Bannon be sure to thank him for letting me scan these
postcards of his into the website.
Albany Ave from Railroad Square, read the message on the back dated 1915;
just click it....
River
Street Bridge, Dated 1909. On the larger version
(click) there is a drainage pipe of some sort on the right, emptying into
the river...Do I recall correctly that is still there? and what does
it drain?
Route 302, 1940; looking west from about where Sky Valley is today.
Hellen Hayes's Elmcrest Inn is on the left.
Albany Avenue, 1920; looking north.
Shown below are a series of scenes of Village Streets. Some may be
difficult to recognize, but that's what makes them interesting. Click
on any picture for a super-sized version. All these postcards were
scanned from the collection of Michael Bannon.
Thank-You
