Thanks for sharing, I lived in the immediate area of the Franklin St Baptist Church, which was 1963 when I moved there for employment.  A beautiful area area for many years, I haven't been there 

in a good while, but I would assume it still is a Architectural Heaven. 

Thanks for sharing

This has nothing to do with PRCo, but if you are interested in a 
representation of architectural styles in Bloomfield and Glen Ridge, NJ 
between 1890 and 1915, I scanned a collection of glass plate negatives that 
belonged to a realtor who photographed the houses he sold. Â Many were new at 
the time of sale/photograph.

Bloomfield is the next town northwest of Newark. Â It is now served by a 
light rail/subway line to Newark that was built in the abandoned bed of the 
Morris Canal. Â This collection of photos represents a building boom period 
that was influenced by the expansion of railroads and streetcars in the 
area.
