Yesterday’s photo of Spring St was taken in 1902, and coincidentally, those photo is also of Spring St in 1902, only this north-facing view is from 8th Street. The guy in the foreground is sitting in a Pope-Waverley electric automobile. According to Wikipedia, their 1904 sold for $1100. The motor produced 3 horsepower, used 30 batteries, and was steered by that lever he’s holding. I do wonder where he was going that day and if he got there.

This is the January 2023 version of that same view. I was hoping that building in the background of the 1902 photo might still be around, but alas no.
