Thanks Newbie2. I was wondering about that (and I didn’t want to have to pay an additional $5 fee for the service through the tax photo office).

Thanks for the link Jimmy. I beleive you need the block and lot of your building to get the right picture. That info is available on propshark.com, which can be accessed for free.

i haven’t seen one old tax photo that wasn’t fascinating. i should get my entire block’s photos and build a panorama.

Hey Jimmy Legs, thanks for the link! I’m going to order some photos of the area to hang on my walls at home.

Really? How do we get the tax photos? Can you order them from the city’s website?

What I like about these two photos is that there is a car parked in the same place in both. The more things change…

What a wonderful picture. Thanks to the owner for sharing. I have a similar picture of my house from the tax records circa 1940. Things have not changed as much on my block.
