A very nice surprise arrived this December in the form of early photographs of the Meadowbrook neighborhood. You may know that as the neighborhood homes were built and sold, the local Courier Newspaper would publish sold announcements. These are those photographs, along with a small brochure, and some additional street scene photographs which I'm including here. Remember, click the images to enlarge them.
Notice how young the trees were! We need to plant more!

Organizing stacks of photos with an older brochure copy on top
a photo vs the newspaper print out framed below, so much more clarity
Looking forward to hopefully more finds, would be neat to see correspondence, or details about the WPA and early construction, but nonetheless, so fun to archive these precious pictures!
