Elm and Market Sts.

This was the main business area of Greensboro, NC as it appeared around 1910. (Not sure whether this is looking north or south from Elm St.) It has changed a lot since then. (This was a postcard sent to my grandmother from my grandfather, who was a conductor for Southern Railway, and who lived in Greensboro at the time.)

Date & Place: 1910 in Greensboro/Guilford Co., North Carolina United States
