Description
Colorized photo from 1915
Original title: Main Street from Fountain Square
Photographer: Detroit publishing
Location: 198 E 5th St., Cincinnati, Ohio
The original was quite dark for some reason. I'm thinking the sun was either setting, which I don't think it was, because there are a lot of people milling about. Or it was mid morning (those shadows usually fool me), and I guess the building was in shadow. I also know its not later in the day because there are still newspapers in the stands, and people are reading them.
I got lucky and found the exact postcard of this scene, I took some of the colors from that. That said, they showed green streetcars, and they might have been green, but in almost all the other postcards they show them as orange or red. And since I've done other scenes of this exact location, I wanted to keep them all orange.
The year range for this was 1910-1920, one site showed this image as 1912. But that white building in the middle was built in 1913, and it looks like everyone moved into it, that's why I marked this as 1915.
The only buildings that remain is that white ones, and the bank in the far back.
