Meade School T&N Ca. 1900

[Gettysburg Greg]

First, Merry Christmas to everyone who helps make this such an interesting forum. As a frequent poster, I really appreciate the interest and comments as well as the indulgence of the administrators who I know bend the rules sometimes to leave my posts up even when they are not totally within the guidelines. This post may fall into that category.
Found this Tipton photograph of a very cool group of folks, including a horse posing on three legs, in front of Meade School that appears to be from circa 1900, so just had to put it together with a modern google street view for this interesting comparison.

I used to drive past the Meade School on my way home every day. Awesome T&N, @Gettysburg Greg!

Good thing the roads do. I'd go crazy trying to drive over those things every day.

Great photos, @Gettysburg Greg, thanks for sharing them! I used to live near there and enjoy seeing old photos of that area. Looking up Springs Avenue (the street to the left of the Meade School/Federal Pointe Inn) there are no houses beyond the one at the far left of the frame, which suggests that the carriages going up the street are headed to one of two destinations: the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary or the Springs Hotel.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Greg! Thanks for all your contributions in 2017!

P.S. Christmas morning here now (7:15am) and Santa Clause has been !!! I can see stuff that wasn't there last night when I went to bed! Waiting for some sleepyheads to get up.

Enjoy your pics of then and now, Greg. Been to this locale many, many times on my visits to Gettysburg. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

I love old photos paired with the same view today, makes you think about lots of things, time, folks, stories, etc..

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family Greg. Thanks for posting this now and then photograph. It's amazing how some scenes really have not changed that much in 150 years. David.

I love the comparison. It's a great view thanks @Gettysburg Greg. Keep up the good work.

It is wonderful to see that the building still stands, and apparently is in use, while so many grand old structures are left to crumble and are leveled.

What I would like to know is whether or not that big rock was there originally or added later. Tell that horse to get out of the way.
