Colorized photo from 1906
Original Title: Light St, Looking north, Baltimore Md
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Baltimore Maryland, on Light St, on the corner of East Pratt Street (approx)
Isn't it funny that a little over a hundred years ago or so, Baltimore looked like the wild west? Horses, carriages, guys in fine suits watching the affair. I wonder how our cities will look in a hundred years, how they will look back at our cars with wheels. Nothing is flying. I wonder what the fashion will be like then?
Located in Baltimore, MD, this is Light Street, the picture was dated 1906, which I believe to be correct. There was a great fire in 1904, which leveled much of the town, but this area was last to be hit, so these may be the survivors. But time does destroy things, and presently the only thing left from that period is a pointy building on the left, the one with the flag on it, at 22 Light St.
