About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

St. Clair Street in the 1990s
Submitted by D_Caselli on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 9:41am.
During the 1990s I worked at the A. H. Jamra company on St. Clair Street. It was a large brick building with wood floors and exposed wood beams. The company was a Candy & Tobacco wholesale distributor. I would be there for a month or so at a time each year. There was a post office on St. Clair Street near Jamra and I am wondering if this is the same post office of 1905.

How did the Mud Hens do that year? Their record must have been published in one of the October magazines advertised here.
