Then and now montages

I take a lot of then and now montages though few ever involve particularly significant buildings, and the original photos don't always have the best perspectives. That said, here's a few that might be interesting.

The Aldine Theater - 19th and Chestnut. Built 1921. William Steele & Sons Company.



The wonderfully Victorian building in the center was built for the Athletic Club of Philadelphia in 1889. Exterior designed by Willis Hale.



Some lost Market Street in Old City, as was alluded to in Philly VII.



More of these can be found at my blog as well, http://briangoestotown.blogspot.com. Original photos all from http://www.phillyhistory.org
