When The Corner Of President And Smith Street Had Style!

Here is a beautiful old photograph of the corner of President Street and Smith Street on April 17, 1928. Nice, no? The building at the corner was probably taken down when the subway was built. The site remained an open lot for decades. Today, the building which houses Rite Aid gives that corner a much different look.
How difficult would it have been to try to match the new building to the original.

Thanks to neighborhood friend Barbara for sharing the picture!
