Smith Street
photo detail
I know you are going to love this!
Joe and Marion Alameda of Perfect Corner, the custom picture framing store at 345 Smith Street, just started selling photographs taken in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood in the 1920's and 30's. As soon as they got the photos into their store, Joe and Marion called me to show them to me. You see, they know that I love neighborhood history just as much as they do.
Amongst the images are incredible shots of Carroll Park and of Smith Street, like the one above, of the corner of Sackett Street.
Marion, an avid reader of this blog smiled when she pointed at this particular image.
"You see, things haven't changed all that much since that time," she said, pointing at the dog lifting his leg against a newsstand in the image. (She was, of course, referring to a recent post of mine about dogs in Carroll Park.)
I agreed. The more things change, the more they stay the same...at least in carroll Gardens.
Make sure to stop by Perfect Corner to browse their collection. You won't regret it.
Joe will gladly custom frame one of the wonderful photos for you.
