Gallery: Do you remember? -- April 11, 2011

Herald-Dispatch photo archives - This photo was taken from The Herald-Dispatch, 946 5th Ave. The camera is looking eastward. Note the cars that are parking at an angle heading west, before 5th Avenue was turned into a one-way street. Buildings in the background are First Presbyterian Church and the Huntington School of Business. The photo might be of mourners attending a funeral at First Presbyterian. Butch Carico thinks the photo might be from the 1930s or early 1940s.
