Re: [Vandal] Aerial Photograph of Old Moscow

     The picture is great.  It was taken from the south side of what is now fifth street at where the parking lot entrance into the court house is.  The Methodist church is clearly visible, along with thee Old Moscow High School.  Also visible behind the left side of the old MHS is the Latah County Historical Society Museum at 110 S. Adams.  The large white building beyond the Methodist church may be the original Russell School.  It is certainly located on that sight and, if my memory is correct, that building is not on a drawing I've seen of Moscow circa 1897.  Also, beyond the old MHS near the top of the roof lines on the right, is a roof line that looks like it could be the Siems Mansion at 430 E. A

Sam -

 

I would love to share these photos with Vision2020 here in town (the more the merrier, I say).  They can visit my archive (as well as download the photos) at:

Memories tend to lose their intrinsic value unless you share them.

Thanx for sharing your old photos, Tom.

 

No, I think that is not an "aerial" photo, at least not in the

conventional sense of being from an aircraft.  Much too low.

Maybe shot from the Presbyterian Church or the Courthouse, if

either existed then.

 

On the left, not too far into the distance, is that the "1912"

building that is now being renovated?  And just beyond that and

to the right, is that the building occupied by the Unitarian

Church?

 

Would you be willing to share your posting with the Vision2020

email group out of moscow.com?  I'm sure a number of readers of

that list would find your photo interesting.

Greetings Vandals -

I have just added an aerial photograph of old Moscow to the archives.  I
believe this photo was taken from the olde grain elevator on the north side
of town.  I have no idea when it was taken, though.  As ever, you can view
it (and download it) at:

The Cougar feast at the zoo is scheduled for August 30 at Martin Stadium.
See you there.

Until then, take care and . . .

GO VANDALS ! ! !
