| From Pittsburgh, PA to Columbus, OH, this type of street with rows of banks and office buildings was a common site in many turn of the century cities. Today these streets may still exist but there are probably a wider variety of businesses along the sidewalks. A renovated bank building could now house offices for a Pittsburgh or Columbus DUI lawyer with a retail store or coffee shop on the ground floor. |
| ABOUT THESE PHOTOS: All these images were taken between 1900 & 1915. These high-resolution reproductions of glass plate negatives were donated to the SteelCactus Foundation by Douglas Haney. |
