Circa Date

1888-1900

Description

Estimate based on street rails. Bangor was the second city of the United States to have street railway service, beginning in 1889.

The Bangor House at 174 Main Street can be seen on the left background.

This is the current location of (roughly) the Bangor Police Department.

Shows a few relatively large homes with thick ivy growing on them.

The photo has been damaged over time. Not sure what the white section in the middle is about. And why someone wrote Bangor Public Library is something we probably don't ever want to know.
