Title:
Main Street paved with brick
- Date:
- 1929-09-01
- Description:
- From the viewpoint of S. Winooski Ave., this historic image shows the cobble stoned Main St. as it once was. Parked cars sit on both sides of the trolley tracks leading up the incline. In the left of the picture, one can see the Strong Theatre next to the Chilton Paint Co. In front of the building and advertisements for Kenton's "Father and Son" are plastered in a telephone booth. In the distance, beyond the U.S. Post Office and Customs House, cafes and various shops can be seen on the left side of the street. On the opposite side of the street, brick buildings housing other shops on the ground level can be seen. In the distance, at the corner of Church St. in front of City Hall, a sign reading "SWEET SHOP" can be seen.

Title:
Main Street Rail Removal
- Date:
- 1943-05-05
- Description:
- This historic photograph shows workers on Main St., in between S. Winooski Ave. and Church St., removing the rails for the former trolley system. In the left side of the picture, one can see a sign for Brown's Drugs in front of the U.S. Post Office and Customs House. Further down the street one can see a sign for a restaurant reading "SEAFOOD," the Flynn Theatre advertising "My Friend Flicka," and the Vermont Motel behind it. Across the street, behind a few onlookers of the rail removal, one can see the Christian Science Reading Room and the Federal Savings & Loan Association next door. In the foreground there is a pickax and shovel lying in the street. Several vehicles can be seen parked along the street. A few pedestrians on the sidewalk appear to be watching the road work.
