Sumner Avenue: 1905
Springfield, Mass., circa 1905. "Sumner Avenue looking east." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Jackson to Washington
Google Maps shows Washington Road crossing Sumner at this location. In addition to the Washington Avenue that Randy mentions, there's also a Washington Boulevard in town, from which Washington Road proceeds. As this blog post mentions, it had formerly been named Jackson Street.
Dazed and Confused
The original image shows a Jackson Street to the north which I can't locate in current Springfield maps.
This 2014 image shows a Washington Avenue to the north which is in current Springfield maps, but runs parallel to Sumner about five blocks to the south.
Am I overlooking something?
