It's always amazing to compare before and after photos (especially when the after pics are from 1973).
I found the 1957 Thomas Guide map of Bunker Hill to be very helpful.
Below: I found a photo of the building we were discussing on the previous page. The one at 3rd Street and Grand Ave.
You were absolutely correct.....there is a sign for the New Grand Hotel (as well as the deli).
I don't have any info, but I'm guessing this is Walker Evans. |
That's from the
Cushman Collection, which is absolutely great. Provides gems like these -- Broadway btw 1st and 2nd, 1952,
and the 200 block of South Main,
...believe it or not, both of the vintage light poles in each picture remain. All of the buildings have been leveled, save for the tall building on the far right of the South Main image.
