| In this 1935 image, one sees a number of workmen constructing a portion of the sewer that was to run from Wright Avenue. McAllister took this image from the south end of Proctor Place, looking north toward Wright Avenue and Lake Champlain. The gable roofed house visible in the distance, to the right of the sewer, is the back of a house between Wright Avenue and Harrison Avenue. The garages on the right side of the image sit behind houses on Central Avenue.[19]

The houses visible to the north and east in the McAllister image still stand today. Though not visible from the point of view in the above image, the area just west of Proctor Place has seen significant change since 1935. Today there is a development of lakefront condominiums or apartments called Harbor Watch. Proctor Place itself never became a road; it continues south from this point to a driveway and bikepath. The northern end of Proctor Place terminates at Harrison Avenue, clearly visible in the above image. |
