Bough Wow: 1906
Mobile, Alabama, circa 1906. "Government Street, looking west." Our second look in as many weeks at this tree-lined thoroughfare. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative. View full size.

That's the McGill Institute on the right (relocated 1952, building demo'ed three years later), unrelated to the noted Canadian school.
This one took some work: if not for a 2014 Shorpy shot (looking east), and an unexpected assist from the friends of Admiral Semmes, this would have likely gotten by me.
