4.-Marion-St.-overpass-THEN-web

Looking across Railroad Avenue from the open second floor portico of the then brand new Grand Trunk pier, Phillip Hughett’s snapshot form late 1910 or early 1911 reaches from the Maritime building on the left to nearly new Marion Street overpass on the right. His intended subject at the scene’s center skyline is the just topped-off steel skeleton of the Hoge Building still at Second Avenue and Cherry Street. (Picture courtesy of Jim Westall)
