Past Post: First & Highland 1911
January 23rd, 2009 @ 12:57 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post |
Past Post today takes us back to 1911 for this tinted graph of First and Highland, Queen Anne. Our trusty Google street view shows that the house on the left is alive and well. Two of the three homes in the distance are also still kicking (one became a pretty horrendous mid-rise). I guess three out of four “ain’t bad.” Click for higher res and have a good weekend.
That IS horrendous! The house it replaced looks like it’s made of brick.
I find it odd that they stamp at both the source post office and the destination post office. Is this standard and I’ve just missed it until now? Or did a penny buy you a lot more hand stamping back then?
