Today, two more views of downtown Poughkeepsie, NY. First, Main Street East from North Hamilton Street. I should note the modern image was taken on Veteran’s day which accounts for some of the desolation, but not all.<\/p>\n

The November 2011 image on the left shows one building with 1871 on the very top of its facade (out of frame); the only structure that retains its character from the 1906 image on the right. Something I find interesting is the proliferation of wires in the 1906 view. Not only were there telephone\/telegraph lines and electric lines running from pole to pole, you can also see the fine lines suspended between the streets which serviced the\u00a0trolley.<\/p>\n
