    Historic Charlotte Street Scene, 1915-1920

    $35.00

    This photograph captures a street scene in Charlotte, North Carolina, taken between 1915 and 1920 by a Bain News Service photographer. During this period, Charlotte was experiencing significant growth, evolving from a modest trading post to a burgeoning urban center, fueled by the cotton industry and the arrival of the railroad. This image reflects the architectural styles of the time, showcasing the blend of commercial activity and residential life that characterized early 20th-century American cities.

    In the backdrop, you can see the hustle and bustle typical of a growing city. Streetcars likely rumbled by, transporting residents around town while shops lined the streets, serving both locals and visitors. The presence of pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles highlights the transitional phase of American transportation during this era. Each element of the photograph creates a snapshot of everyday life, providing a glimpse into the urban landscape of Charlotte during a pivotal moment in its history.
