A modern SUV crosses the intersection as pedestrians (circa 1910) come and go. The Waterworks Building on the corner built in by E. Hill Turnock has been re-purposed into office space. Several of the structures down the street have long since been razed.

Historical Photomerge is my spin on the traditional “then-and-now” photo concept. Normally you might see photos of the same location side by side, sometimes from slightly different angles. Historical Photomerge seamlessly weaves together a historical archival photograph with a modern one to produce a thought provoking image.

Historical Photomerge is ideal for a smartphone or cellphone walking tour. Images are also useful for historic preservation by showing both the history and future potential of an endangered property.
