  2. This is wonderful...almost no difference of any consequence in 109 years! Even the tower looks the same!

  3. Apart from the traffic I wouldn't have guessed that there are more than 100 years between both images.

  9. Always love your contemporary photos to compare to historic post cards. Fun looking at similarities and differences.

  10. Not many differences. But it seems the window is new. Your photo has some sort of design in it, which makes it look like an eye.
