Main Street, From Depot

Title

Main Street, From Depot

Description

This photo was not included in A Glimpse of Woodstock (Item #50: "A Glimpse of Woodstock") but was taken around the same time period. The number on the front of the postcard would be in sequence with other postcards used. However, it is taken later than the previous Hoffman Main Street photo since the light fixtures are the globe type installed in 1912.

It is colorized.

A fence has been built at the intersection of Church and Main. Business names cannot be deciphered because of the grainy focus.

People stand on the sidewalk including a mother, child and father carrying a suitcase while walking away from the train station. Bicyclists pedal down the middle of Main St.

Date

1912~
