| Louis McAllister took this picture on November 27, 1934, after a road widening and resurfacing project on Main Street Immediately to the right of the city reservoir, looking southeast. For more pictures and information about the reservoir, please click here. The building just past the reservoir is 565 Main Street, constructed c. 1926. Its first tenant, D. William Doane, a local real estate man, first appeared at the house in the 1927 Burlington city directory. Doane continued to live here at least until 1935, so he would have been the resident when the photograph was taken in 1934. [1]

Today, very little change has taken place at 565 Main Street. The same can not be said for the surrounding area. The road is considerably wider, the row of trees lining the street is gone, and the front of the Burlington Reservoir has been carefully landscaped. The most jarring change involves the construction of the massive Dudley H. David Student Center on the left side of the image, set to open in September 2007. |
