Reply to "A lucky and nostalgic find"

Richard, what irony!  I did just that on Google earth and you're right.   Sprague is up above that row of houses. I could easily see the retaining wall at the bottom of the steps to those Sprague houses. Our old house was razed because the hill let loose and apparently damaged it beyond repair.  This happened long after I left the area.

We moved to Caldwell in 1951 or 1952 and yes, the Caldwell house was built in 1890. Hardly anything on Caldwell is visible in the poster that I bought.

Most of those homes in the lower row on the far right were pretty much abandoned by the early sixties.  I vividly recall one burning down in the mid 60's. I can't recall the name of the street but remember that it was easy to access by going under the old trolley viaduct.

Are you from the area?
