Circa Date

1880-1885

Description

Looking up Park Street from the corner of Harlow and State in Bangor, Maine, estimated between 1880 to 1885. The lack of any electric poles or wiring is a big clue with this estimation. Also, looking at Bangor city directories from that time confirm the businesses visible during that time in the photograph.

Business seen via magnification include:

John H. Bacon, a printer on the corner of Harlow and State.

Tebbet's Coffins at 35 Park. William O. Tebbets undertaker.

John Lynch on Park, a gold, silver, and nickel plater.

Charles York & Co. a provisions store on Park.

Unitarian Universalist Society Church can also be seen.
