About this Item
Panoramic photograph, 8 x 38½ inches. Minor creasing, light surface and edge wear. Very good. A spectacular overhead view of downtown Waco, Texas during the years of World War I. The center of the image shows the courthouse in the town square, and ranges to the McLendon Hardware building at the left and the Brazos River (and just beyond) to the right. A street to the left of town square appears to be holding a military parade, with several groups of troops marching in tandem, perhaps troops that had recently been in Mexico for the expedition against Pancho Villa or were about to depart for World War I deployment or training. Identifiable businesses or advertisers include Sanger Bros., Herrick Hardware Company, R.L. Fuston Horses & Mules, Columbia Batteries, Coca-Cola, Goodman Liquor, Square Drug Store, Bismark Saloon, among others. The ALICO Building, completed in 1911, stands prominently near center; it was then and remains the tallest building in Waco. A picturesque panorama of wartime Waco. Seller Inventory # WRCAM55710
