125 Pleasant Street: 1941

125 Pleasant Street: 1941

Street corner, Brockton, Massachusetts. January 1941. Two blurry figures pass by a fire hydrant in this time exposure by Jack Delano. View full size. Using the 125 above the door and the street sign as clues, we were able to find this building in Google Maps: 125 Pleasant Street at North Warren Avenue. It's the building to the right with the white roof, and seems to be more or less unchanged. Some of the apartments above the store are on the market as condos. The building the photographer used as his vantage point has disappeared, replaced by a parking lot.

Quincy's

Grandma....can I have a quarter to go to Quincy's?

 

So cool

A window into the past.

 

I grew up in this town

Without looking at the Google map, I knew exactly where this is located. The building does indeed look very much the same, if I still lived there I would go and shoot it for you. Maybe next time I am home...

 

Aerial photo

This intersection can also be seen in a 3-D aerial view.

Looks much more appealing in the old photo!
