Photo over the railroad tracks (going e to w) circa 1915 - looks across the Valley (southwest) towards the Swannanoa Mts (old name Cane Creek Mts.) It is a view looking southwest from the Gladstone Hotel-- which was located up from the Depot where Cove Automotive is now on Dougherty St. (Same ridge I look toward out my windows)
I wonder if any of those homes remain. They would probably be on Vance St. or around that area.

Pretty views and photos. I would think some of those houses may still be there. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI meant to drive over there before this post came out. Soon...

I see the ridge line. Thanks for pointing it out, for I require guidance to notice the details. 😊
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well enough.
Thanks for the concern about my health, and I indeed am doing well enough! I missed the ridgeline and I had just taken the photo!
Delete...I love old postcards.
ReplyDeleteThey do let us see how today's buildings and land are related to yesterday's...that railroad hasn't changed, but I don't think there's a berm like shown in the card's photo.
DeleteVery enjoyable seeing the past on a postcard. Thank you for your comments. You may certainly share my little poem with my name. Thank you very much. Barbara, have a wonderful weekend. Aloha
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to look for what remains from past times.
ReplyDeleteHow did I not know you had other blogs??!! Oh my.
