Update: “By April 20, 1979, construction was moving along on the State Street Mall. In this view, looking south from the "L” platform, the widened sidewalk on the west side of the street appears nearly complete. The circular openings would become granite planters for trees.

Elkton, 1953 — This Kodachrome slide of North Street is a wonderful view of the upper reaches of the business district in the county seat in the decade after World War II. On a busy street, it shows the Elk Soda Shop, the Elk Theatre, Sligh’s Men’s Store, the A&P, Supermarket, and the Dodge dealership.
This spectacular image is from the Dorothy Robinson Collection at the Historical Society. Argus Robinson, the president of People’s Bank, was the photographer and Dorothy Robinson, the local historian and president of the historical society (for many years) collected the images and used them in talks about the history of the town. After she passed away, her collection was donated to the Society and this is one fine example of the images Mr. Robinson captured with his Kodachrome slides.
Guodone, I recently posted this to the Odeon Sheffield CT page in Great Britain.
It is the order form they used there for tickets by mail for “Oliver!”.
I thought this was in the gallery but it wasn’t.
