Oakledge Today

| The Oakledge landscape has undergone many changes, but evidence of the past can still be found. The aerial photos on the left show how development has taken up much of the former land, but the core grounds remain, with chimneys and other artifacts still present to help us reconstruct the previous incarnations of Oakledge. The map below shows a basic outline of the current state of Oakledge. We have selected four historic photographs and attempted to reshoot them as accurately as possible; the yellow arrows on the map show where and in what direction these pictures were taken. You can view the paired historic and modern images by clicking on the links below. | |||||||||||||||||||
