Description
Colorized photo from 1941
Original Title: Main St in Brattleboro
Original photographer: Jack Delano
Location: 39 Main St, Brattleboro VT
This is Main Street in Brattleboro VT as seen in 1941. Today it looks identical, minus the cute cars. Because of that the building colors should be pretty accurate because I was able to get it from them.
The cars were trickier, as I don't know what they were, in the past I've been yelled at people from this era stating the cars were either black or dull, so I went with that theme, only keeping the older looking ones brighter.
This image has a lot of reflections, and trying to figure out which one went where was tricky. More so not everyone is from Vermont, there are a few from NJ and NY.
If you look carefully, in the back near that truck there is a car totally covered in huge logs.
On the left is the Latchis hotel and movie theater, still there today. The sign looks the same as well. I don't know if they are using the same sign or they just want the original look. Either way I took the neon from the current building and put it on this one for continuity, just in case it was the original lights. I did look it up, blue neon was used in the 1930's.
