These photos of life in the US at the beginning of the 20th century are truly a walk back in time. The first photo below looks the same today and many of you have entered it on the way to NY. The third photo shows how Trolley cars were air conditioned in the summer. The clarity of these photos from more than 100 years ago is truly phenomenal.
