This postcard is from before 1907. The photograph itself is from the late 1890s. In the late 1890s, electric trolley tracks were laid in the roadway, leaving only one lane for horses and carts instead of two.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
