ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these pictures. I lived on Ellington Street and remember visiting the station as a kid to watch the trains.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I now live in this are, can the person who publish the post reach out to me, please. Super interested to see If there might be more pictures of a street featured here. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've posted every photo I could find of this area. Many exist because of the elevation of the railroad 100 years ago so the photographer stayed close to the area around the railroad. What particular street interests you?
DeleteThank you for responding! My street was called "Crescent Row" but now it's called Centerway. As the matter of fact, my house is a brick house and it still stands (approximately built in 1895 earliest record found in a Sanborn map, but might be older). Would have loved to see more pictures of it. Thank you so much for posting these! If by any chance and other pictures are found, please let me know. Thank you!
