Although there are some very nice remaining old buildings in Elmira, the ones on E. Water Street appear to be gone.
About Me
- Christine H.
- 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!
I just came across your blog and I just wanted to comment and say how LOVELY it is! I love reading old correspondence! Thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Please feel free to leave suggestions for future posts too.
ReplyDeleteI love comparing the Google views to the postcards. What a great idea. And these old views of my hometown are very nostalgic, and a bit sad when we see what the city looks like today. Elmira was a major victim of urban renewal in the 1960s and a flood in 1972, and downtown was never the same.
