North Looking South: 1912
Pittsfield, Massachusetts, circa 1912. "North Street looking south." Here's looking at you, kid. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Uni Nocycle
As Elmer Fudd might say, it wheelie is a bit confusing.
Unicycle
The kid on the corner has a unicycle.

Is that a real person
... at the far right of the photo, midway between top and bottom, gripping the edge of the building's roof with two hands (with what seems to me unusually short arms), leaning over the edge? Just to the right of the sign that (I think) reads "Philip A. Lowe Ph.G."? I am curious as to what y'all think because it looks to me like a short-armed person on all fours leaning over to look down below. The black dog across the street likely noticed and turned his face to the wall out of fear that the person would plummet.
Sit Fido! Good Boy/Girl
The black dog against the far left wall. No leash and no way of knowing who it belongs to. Either way, it is behaving. Unless something else is happening.
