Modern photo?

I wonder if there's a modern photo from the same vantage point?

 

Only if...

I could come home again to my air-conditioned house and my washer/dryer and a time in which I don't have to spend 16 hours every day cooking, cleaning or making clothing for my family.

 

Photo Quality

Amazing how sharp these photos are. You can almost imagine living in this old town back in 1887. No car and bus noises, no high tech clutter. Take me back.

[Plus: Mud! Manure! But I agree. It would be nice to go back. - Dave]
