mobilene Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 My family has begun attending a church that is mere feet off the National Road in Indianapolis. We chose the church for reasons not related to its location, but that location is certainly a welcome coincidence. I hope you'll indulge me a diversion from the National Road -- but seriously, it's mere feet away. Hanging inside are a handful of panoramic photographs of the church and its congregation from about 100 years ago. This is the best of them, from 1914. Here's the same scene from last Sunday, taken with my new iPhone that does automatic pano shots. Not bad, eh? If you're curious of location, the church is at 24 N. Addison St. in Indianapolis. -Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Jim, A really impressive "then and now!" Even the house is the same. Dave Keep the Show on the Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mga707 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Jim-- Do you know what the objects are that look like two silver (Mylar) balloons on the pole in the top right corner of the 1914 shot? I second Dave's comment above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Those balloon-like things are actually this kind of chintzy garland draped across the framed photo as it hangs on the wall. They're not actually in the picture! -Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mga707 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks! I just now noticed the one on the left edge of the picture as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip62 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Awesome comparison shot! It's also amazing that the neighborhood looks so much the same 98 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
