These postcards show East and West from the same point. What year?
We don't know.
Who knows?

SALTAIRE38.blogspot.com "In the time of your life--live." That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition (--Tennesse Williams)
Classic bayfront shots. Never saw the one on the right that includes our house (O'Shea's - the second from right). I put that at about 1917 to 1920. Comparing it to a pic I have from 1913 or so, the Schmidt and Weidhoff houses are now up and the addition to the back of our home is complete, including a chimney in the back room. Thanks Justin, I'd like to work with you to get a good internegative made up of that one, strictly for interfamily use.
ReplyDeletelisten folks:
ReplyDeleteif the picture East was in about 1917-1920 why would the photographer crop out the Casino?
Also: when was teh "Hilton" house built-- ti is totally different architecturally than a Coffey House.
Denis: send us your 1913 photo when you get a chance.
