| This photograph of University Place from Main Street, taken by McAllister circa 1933, shows no obvious buildings, but it is nevertheless an interesting record of change. The landscape, viewed looking to the northwest from near the Burlington Reservoir's Pump House, is filled with tall, lush elm trees creating a canopy over the University Green. |
This contemporary image of University Place leaves a different impression than it did in 1933. Without the canopy of tall trees, the expanse conveys the sense of a field rather than a forest. Also, the widened street has straightened out previous road's rounded curves, which lent it a slower, meandering feel. |
