Park Street Bridge - early 1900's - Updated 29 Nov 2013

An early picture postcard of the Park Street Bridge being erected in the early 1900's with the school in the background was scanned while visiting the Hammond House in September 2013.

Update - My brother Marty thinks the logs were being added to support the bridge during the 1908 flood that took out the Broadway bridge.  Notice the water level behind the men on the right side of the picture.

Delivery Wagon

The delivery wagon was scanned while visiting the Hammond House in September 2013.  Location not noted on the picture.

Bostwick Home/Methodist Church Parsonage

The postcard picture of the Bostwick Home that was located on the NW Corner of Broadway and Charlotte Streets was scanned while visiting the Hammond House in September 2013.  The home was then willed to the Methodist Church who used the home as their parsonage until sometime in the 1950's when it was demolished to build the Sinclair Station.

Park Street - Updated with comment from Noel Spooner

The picture postcard of Park Street was scanned at the Hammond House during my visit in September 2013.  I am guessing this was taken from the top of the hill on the South end of Park Street seeing a faint image of the Park Street bridge at the bottom of the hill.

Comment from Noel Spooner:  I believe that this picture is taken from the north end of Park.  I currently live right around the corner from here.  The first house on the right is where Anita Wessel currently lives.  The front porch is a bit different, but the house is mostly the same.  Posted on November 4, 2013
