Bay Avenue, ca. 1918

ca. 1918

Bay Avenue between Miller and Marine, Highlands

A row of two-story storefronts on Bay Avenue in the second decade of the century — hardware, dry goods, the pharmacy, the tavern, a coffee-and-cake room. Trolley tracks in the middle of the street; hitching posts along the sidewalk. Horse-drawn wagons and, by then, a scatter of Model Ts.

Then and now

Bay Avenue in Highlands, ca. 1918 — a row of two-story storefronts with striped awnings, trolley tracks down the middle, hitching posts, colorized
Bay Avenue in Highlands today — the same row of storefronts, elevated after Sandy, modern awnings, parked cars, the working waterfront visible at the far end
