Now and then, then and now

All the recent snow reminded me of this photograph taken from Green Street.  It dates after 1883, because the Soldier’s Monument is there, but before 1928, when the trolley stopped running.

Once I found this one, I walked a little ways down Green Street to see if the view was the same.
