A Glimpse of Woodstock
Title
A Glimpse of Woodstock
Description
This postcard is a photo montage of eight W. G. Hoffman postcards: "Benton St. From Van Buren #730"
"C. & N. W. Depot #705"
"Main Street #734"
"Oliver Typewriter Factory"
"Woodstock Typewriter Co."
"Benton Street #729"
"Congress Dairy #740"
"Van Buren Street from Johnston #728"
The center frame shows a young girl next to camera with the title and a photo of Murphy and Sherman blocks.
None of the Square photos have brick on the street, so they were taken before 1912. The depot was built in 1912.
The Congress Dairy photo was dated 1912 in a Northwest Herald interview of Joan Mansfield, council woman and local history expert.
The Main Street photo is unusual in that it shows a curved lawn where Washington and Church streets meet.
