A is for Adler's: 1907
Savannah, Georgia, 1907. "Broughton Street looking west." With a view of the department store founded by Leopold Adler at the corner of Broughton and Bull. View full size.

Below is the same view from July of 2010.
Formal looking street vendor
What is he offering from his white tablecloth and apron? It looks like bread, and he seems to have a knife for slicing.
There were at least a few photos taken along Broughton Street that day. In this photo, the vendor can be seen at far left, this time with a see-through shield to protect his product. But what product?
Victims of the pre-historic preservation era
I walked across this intersection today, in the light drizzle, to get lunch. This fantastic image is a reminder of what we lost in Savannah before we realized we were killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
One part of historic Savannah his grandson couldn't save
The store was founded by Leopold Adler in 1878, and made much of the claim to be Georgia's largest. It was destroyed in a spectacular fire on May 20, 1958.
Ironically, Adler's grandson and namesake, 'Lee' Adler (1923-2012), was the guiding spirit behind the successful preservation of old Savannah. He led the Historic Savannah Foundation (founded by his mother and six other 'ladies') and was a Trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which gave him its highest award in 1984.
