Streets - Virginia - Williamsburg

Lantern Slides - Hand-colored - 1930-1940

Automobiles line Duke of Gloucester Street in this pre-restoration street scene of Williamsburg, Virginia, circa late 1920s. The island down the center of the street, along with the above ground power lines, would disappear in a few years to make way for an authentic eighteenth-century vista towards the Capitol building.

Circa late 1920s
