Old Orchard, Maine, circa 1904. “Alberta and Velvet hotels.” 8×10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. Black and White original found at Shorpy, wonderful colorization done by /u/kibblenbits
Modern shot from approximately the same angle, dug up by /u/HarvieBirdman.
My wife grew up in Maine, and I’ve spent several summers there. It’s a beautiful place.
The Old Wolf has spoken.
For whatever reason, WordPress decided to put the modern shot with the summary which came up in my reader and I sm reading along and think. Now wait a minute! There weren’t any Subway sandwich shops and vans that looked like that in 1904. LOL!
Strange that they would use the second shot. Well, made for an interesting WTF moment for you, anyway. 😉
LOL! Yep. 🙂
