Re: Free delivery
Found some architectural survivors.
Oxford NY The windows on the first & second floor match. The roof line was changed. Looks to be sloped now front to back

Loomis Nebraska A bit harder to find but the hard to find. I had to Google drive up the street to capture a picture of the building in the background. To many trees in the way

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Looking at the modern pic of the brick building, it looks like there is some irregularity in the brickwork at about the same level as where the cornice used to be. Most likely the same building. As is usually the case with "remodels", it looked better as it used to be.

Re: Free delivery
First...a big thanks to Tom again for some really really great pics. #9 shows some big, weird looking block on the bench. #10 looks like that town is "improving the infrastructure" with either water or sewer...had to be an exciting time either way.
And thanks Frank for your "modern pics" of Loomis. When I looked at Tom's pic my first thoughts were how few mature trees there were, the mud roads of course, and then wondered what it looked like now. You helped show that!

Re: Free delivery
#7 is intriguing - T chassis re-purposed as a wagon, mule powered. I wonder what the date of the photo is ? Unless the wheels of an older car were swapped out, they appear to be 21” balloon tires, ‘25 at the oldest ! Either that car had tragically short life, or the photo is mid-1930s or later.
The raw material for pure spirits of gum turpentine ! When paint was paint !!
(as ever, thank you so much for posting these treasures, Tom ! It’s always a treat to see them !)

Re: Free delivery
Mr Gates in picture 9 that big block is a T block as early as 1913 or a bit later based on the supports on the 3rd main, the thick oval field coil plus the Jno Brown model 16 headlight on the vehicle to the front right of the mechanics. Can’t imagine how much clean up the shop floor needed weekly. Look closely at the fender with all the mud just on the fender’s edge. The shop had a big South Bend Lathe to boot. Tom great pictures.
