Latest Historical Photo Was Looking North on Main Street

The historical photo in the most recent "Then and Now" photo contest was taken nearly 100 years ago looking north on Main Street in Wenham.

The latest is looking north on Main Street (Route 1A) in Wenham.

The photo was taken on May 23, 1903. The trolley car barn is on the left and the Main Street shops are on the right.
