One of the most satisfying parts of my work when finding a historical photograph is to find what it looks like today and Google Maps makes this quite easy! Here is Gloucester, Massachusetts in 1910 at the intersection of Main Street and Hancock Street, then and now. What similarities do you see? Take a look at the architectural details, street lights and the shape of windows.
