I always enjoy these "then & now" photo comparisons. Nice post someone123. The north end is near unrecognizable, eh? I was wondering if someone may know what this building below is? It's from the far upper left hand corner of the North End aerial shot. I've seen it a few times before but can't seem to place it. It's kind of an interesting building.

I was inspired by this post and remembered that I had a few photos of the quarry pond at Point Pleasant from over the years. Thought this might be a fitting time to post them. It's kind of amazing how little it's changed over the years. Although there's a lot of plant growth the rock that the man in 1875 is standing on can still be seen in 2019. The first photo from 1875 has an interesting story with it on the Archives site.
