Scanning and documenting some more photos from the DPW Museum collection. A while back I had posted some photos taken from the smoke stack of the Eastern Avenue Pumping Station – they were in bad shape and a lot of smog in the pics. These look more like originals. Found in an unmarked folder. Some writing on reverse of photos.

On reverse of this photo is stated: Property of C.C. Wisner showing side wheeler Louise. 1910

Also marked as Wisner and being taken by A. Waldek (His name is spelled two different ways on 2 photos). Undated. Looking north. Shot Tower in upper left.

Another undated one. Assuming between 1910 and 1934 . Marked with Wisner and Waldeck. View of Pratt Street up Jones Falls.

Notation on back: Baltimore City, Old Light Street waterfront piers and docks since removed. 1949.

And after the removal. About 1954.

1965 improvements prior to the Inner Harbor becoming Harbor Place.
