Wood Street: 1908
Circa 1908. "Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania." A good look at the street-rail infrastructure in place 100 years ago. 8x10 inch glass negative. View full size.
Brutalized
I didn't realize that the building on the left foreground was the same with the 80s streetfriendly reduction.
Lost soul
In virtually every original scene that has been presented on Shorpy, when someone has posted the same scene today, the spirit, the soul, the humanity, the beauty is gone. What has happened to our world?

Below is the same view from July of 2011.
Optical Illusion
Before I supersized this photo I thought that was snow on the street. Bad eyes or wishful thinking, I sure was hoping to cool off with a peek at snow. Bummer.

Way cool Dave, thanks!
Sunday morning? Where is everyone?
Pittsburgh was a bustling city with a very active downtown in 1905. I'd expect to see a lot more traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular. So I'm guessing this was Sunday morning, when all proper people would be in church, but not so early that the woman crossing in front was afraid to go out.
Fancy Building & Peoples Bank remain
Hard to see People's Bank but I think it is there. The fancy building on the right is in plain sight.
