specop,
Thanks so much for sharing this. Great pics! My grandma used to work at the Peoples Drug Store in this link when she was a younger woman. It would have been in the late 40's or early 50's when she worked there - not the 20's, but it was neat to see a pic of the place back in the day

Rural street car line originally horse drawn and recently electrified. It worked 87 years ago but not today.

It's amazing how scratched up and filthy everything is. The photo above is corporate training. Just look at that floor!

Thanks again, specop, for posting this link. I've spent a good part of the last two days going through all these pictures. Amazing. It's like a trip back in time. Being from a rural area, I particularly enjoyed looking through all the pictures of rural America of the time.

Dorothea Lange's pictures are absolutely incredible. A few pictures that were particularly haunting to me...

abject poverty, 1936


a coal miner's family, 1938


farmer, 1939 - this is the face of Americana


peeling potatoes, 1897


a boy and his dog, 1904

Here is our house and the family who built it.

Great photo, Pops. I have always loved big old farm houses...

Since you put up an old photo, I thought I would, too I have many, but this is one I love. My dad at about 6 years old with my granddad. It would have been about 1948. The old house, as I recall my dad saying, had no indoor plumbing. He hauled water in buckets from the well everyday. He hated washday
